Removing Legacy support is a BAD idea.
(read "bad" with extremly bold, and underlined fonts.)
Saying bye bye to DOS is not going to be as easy as microsoft presume,
and as we all in this list allready know. I think that they will
have to preper their tech support and costumer support departments
to quite a rain of complaints.
First to complain will be computer owners that are still using legacy
cards among the PnP ones (and I should know - I am one of them),
next it will be buisnesses and people who use small yet vital DOS
based software. Not to mention "old" computers, where Win Y2K will
not even boot on anyway. (and if it will - it will be slower then
the a turtle on weels.).
What happened to that "dos emulator" thing that I heard can be
found on NT? Did they removed it?
