Can you run DOS 16 bit architecture software on a MAC?
By DOS I assume you mean windows .exe programs, and yes they can under certain conditions.
If you have a program like parallels, boot camp or fusion, you can run windows on the Mac.
if you want to stay in the mac environment, you can use applications like crossover to run them.
being completely honest, if you want to run windows applications, just buy a windows computer, most desktops can be built for less than 400 dollars if you find the right stuff. That and I like my mac to be my fun machine, not windows machine.

I'm assuming you are asking about Windows Vista Features. There is an extensive and thorough discussion on this issue at the "bleeping computer" website, which begins with the following statements: "A Windows Vista feature is simply a set of programs or a particular capability of the operating system that can be enabled or disabled by an administrator. It is important to note that in Windows Vista, when you remove or disable a feature, you are not actually removing files from your hard drive, but rather just deactivating them. Therefore disabling a feature should not be used as a method of freeing up hard drive space. On the other hand, by disabling a feature you may gain an increase in performance due to memory and processor utilization no longer being allocated towards the particular feature."
