>> The Win32 environment is essentially a protected-mode DOS application" > 95 and prior were literally running on top of DOS. Not sure how you're gathering that the GP is contradicting this. Windows 95, 98 and Me are all architecturally the same: a protected-mode DOS app. Running DOS from within the Windows shell is not the same as exiting or skipping the boot of the Windows graphical shell, and is running in VM86 mode (which as the GP points out existed in Windows/386 / Windows 3.0 Enhanced 386 mode) See Virtual 8086 mode for some more overview. |
