Hyper-V has one big flaw: DOS is not supported, and there are no plans
to ever support DOS!

Nor should you worry, W2K support will be available for a very long
time. As far as NB Win is conserned, it is just a pipe dream. The best
XyWrite version will always be a DOS program. Most of us could use some
modern programmer's editor, but somehow we are stuck with an old DOS
program, mostly out of habit. Luckily there are still a few options to
run DOS programs.
