To me the fact that Windows XP can not reliably run every ten year old DOS
application is not a serious flaw.


You are totally wrong. It is a serious flaw because this game wolfenstain
makes windows xp crash (!)
What would happen if someone put it on autostart, then windows would crash
all the time !

To you it might be but I bet 99.99% of
users would not.

Well I am worried about this. so maybe I am one person out of 99.99 % or
what. But that couldn´t logically be the case.
Im sure there are millions of people worrying why a software made for
microsoft dos operating system is able to completely crash
a NEWER operating system. And WHY and WHAT is the reason for it to crash ?
