Yes that's true Windows 8 is adding native support for 16-bit applications.

TERRIFIC! Isn't it?

Do you like this decision of Microsoft?

I find it hard to discern from the article what has been added exactly. It kind of sounds like 64-bit will gain the same features 32-bit always had, which is still way short of what DOSBox provides.

Now its of no use, i have waited a long for any type of compatibility between old discontinued products and the OS till i didnt get some aliter. And the votes suggest that everyone has got aliter if they ever even used 16 bit applications
