I still use the "DOS" option in WinXP every now and then. Like when I want to create 26 directories (A-Z) to store pictures, mp3s etc. "md a", "md b", "md c" is way faster compared to "rightmousebutton-new-folder-typeinyournewfoldername-enter".

Nothing faster to use than a command line OS :-)

I do not miss the days of MS-DOS, with fussing around with himem.sys, emm386.exe, only one program running at the same time, and fussing around with IRQ's and so, no, it's good that it's over.

But the best option is to get a real x86 from the junk yard.

Nope, it isn't.
Dosbox can emulate a wide range of computers, from 8088 'till 80486. It's nearly 100% compatible. While a true 486 is too fast or even incompatible.
