So there will be no DOS Emulation.  Pity.  I would have liked to run a 
few DOS apps on my machine without rebooting to Win95.  

When DOS dies it would be nice to have it to work with like the C64 and 
Apple II emulators.  I personally would like to see Win32 emulation, but
I don't know if that will ever get advanced enough.
