  I have never had any problems with FAT support. Maybe it's just me.

  Yes, Unix sucks big time. You should never use it. Demand your money
back immediately.

  I believe the list of DOS games which don't work anymore in current hardware
with the current Windows is larger than the list of DOS games which do.

  Yes, like once I tried to install some modem drivers into a WinXP
system, and at the end of the installation it said "failed to install

failed to install the driver necessary for the internet connection.
