Lots of things will work but certain *some* things will not.

This may or may not be true per given situation. Certainly a lot of stuff
will break. But starting with Win2K Microsoft has worked at making the NT
code base "friendlier" to a lot more Win95 apps (read games!). That has
continued with Whistler as well.
Now - DOS type apps on the other hand... Let's all just spit into a high
wind while covering ourselves with sack cloth and ashes bemoaning the fact
that there's no CP/M for the latest round of hardware.
Life goes on - technology advances - some things become obsolete - life
goes on.
Get over it!!!!!
As for an earlier comment on the removal of using <F8> during boot. Not to
worry,
it's still there as far as I know. The big thing is that it's not announced
on the
screen.
Cheers
