I dont know why it is here.. but I think DOS has only one big disadvantage: I cannot allocate more then 600k of memory..(borland c++ 3.1)
But with djgpp and linux compilers (gcc, ..) maybe all memory is accesible.. but djgpp doesnt want to run on my machine, it gives me error 'cannot allocate <about 160kB> after allocating <about 6kB>' so I'm sad..
And what do you think about LINUX?
It is free at least :)

Win32 ofcource ...
1'st its 32 bit OS with virtual memory and preemptive multitasking (DOS has only TSR wich i think is crude) with procceses and threads
FAT32 is not supported by DOS
If GUI is the thing that eats your performance then get a Linux without an X, its better than both Win32 and DOS
(and its a 32 bit OS with virtual memory and preemptive multitasking )

I myself think that win32 is better. It has directx, and thats that. Have you ever seen graphics like Black & White in DOS?
And about Dos4gw running faster, yeah it will if you don't do polygon stuff.

You Can Use DirectX in C++ too.
in DOS it easier but in Win32 its better
and more comfortable.
I think That Win32 is for big and good projects.
