Well, only kinda.
The closest thing to DOS on an NT-family OS like XP is an app running under
NTVDM - the NT Virtual DOS Machine. "command.exe" is as close to a DOS
prompt as you can get - it runs under NTVDM. Config.nt and autoexec.nt
under %systemroot%\system32\ are the equivalents of config.sys and
autoexec.bat. NTVDM doesn't do good sound card emulation, but there are 3rd
party solutions if you want that.
