Can anyone clarify what the siotuation is regarding use of old MS-DOS and 16 bit Windows applications with the different versions of Vista that appear to be available?
 
Seems to be much the same as it was in XP.

"Make older programs run in this version of Windows"

Most programs written for Windows XP also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run correctly, use the Program Compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility settings for the program. To change settings for a program manually, use the individual program's Compatibility tab.

Does XP support 16 bit DOS programs?
