According to Wikipedia.com, the last version to use DOS as a bootstrap
to load Windows (and then be available, once loaded, to run DOS
programs) was Windows ME. It also says that Windows NT, while not based
on DOS as were earlier versions, could run MS-DOS programs via a virtual
DOS machine, as can Windows 2000 and XP.
Google "ms-dos compatibility Windows XP" to get some pointers on making
MS-DOS apps run under XP,
