No, it is possible. :)

Windows has a checkbox that you can apply to shorcuts/dos programs..

Right click on it, then go to 'Properties' -> Program -> Advanced... Then
check 'MS-DOS mode'.

Clicking on it will exit windows to dos, then run the program. When
finished, or the next reboot it'll boot back to windows...
