Well, I run XP Professional on my home desktop, and I can run old DOS tools of mine just fine. With VDMSound, I can also play old DOS games. (I have not encountered one that I haven't been able to play, but I'm sure it doesn't work with everything.) Emulators are a more complete solution; others have listed a number of good ones. However, until you actually try XP and find out that your software is broken, it is not worth investing even 5 minutes in an emulator. A lot of stuff works as-is. Download VDMSound from sourceforge to get sound support. -Matt
