Windows 7 (32 bit versions) have an emulation of DOS (cmd) that seems much more compatible than running DOS apps in Window XP. You can routinely run WordStar, PC Tools apps, many public domain utilities and various DOS accounting programs in Home, Professional and Ultimate versions of Windows 7. Remember though, they must be 32 bit versions.
Windows 7 Professional has an XP compatibility window you can setup. Theoretically, in that mode under the 64-bit version of Windows 7 you might be able to run various DOS apps.
