I disagree that Win2000 is not DOS friendly. Granted it isn't OS/2. But it
does steal some basic ideas from OS/2 about running DOS. You can use a
seperate memory space, if you tell it to do so. You can have custom
Autoexec.bat & config.sys files. You can tweak a lot more with it then Win9x
OSs.
It also supports dual boot better than any other M$ OS.
So what program are you trying to run?
