I know no one here likes M$, but the fact is that many games are for DOS,
and for KDE to have a better chance at the market, support for DOS/WIN is
something to be considered.
Don't become M$ and boycott everything else.

Maybe it will be possible to somehow allow transparent DOs-in-a-window
support through DOSemu (on machines where it is installed), and WIN support
through Wine/Wabi (if it's installed)?
