Remember where it all began; "Quick And Dirty Dos" -> very few changes -> "MS-DOS 1.0". IMO the sense of it is still there, even in NT. Can't tell about XP - but I would be surprised if the changes were that many. I've been running _well known_ applications on NT that misbehaved every day. Sad but true, the availability of software is too good. An old machine as it is - sets limits that I do not want to step beyond...
