Yes and no - it depends on which version of W2K you mean. There are Win2K Server and Win2K Workstation which are just NT5 Server/Workstation rebranded and are therefore of course not DOS-compatible. There is however Win2K Personal Edition which is essentially the third instalment of Win95,Win98,... and which is backwards-compatible, presumably with DOS too. This came about because of a change of heart on the part of Microsoft, which originally wanted people to switch from Win98 to NT5 (hence the rebranding) but then relented and decided to make another straight upgrade.
