DOS ain't dead

DOS software in Vista and Win7 (Announce)

Did someone tested if DOS programs using VESA graphics run under Win7 on real hardware? I tested only in virtualized Win7 (vmware) and and program using VESA didn't work. It can detected several VESA modes but fails to set it. Only VGA modes seems to work (tried Quake 1). I also tried DPMI memory limit registry hack and it works.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
