But microsoft would have to change the license for that. Apple never
sold System 7.0 and below as a commercial product, so they didn't
really 'handle' it. Of course, you could always get Linux, X11, wine,
and DOSemu to take care of your problem (albeit in 10 times the disk
space :)

I love how Apple handled that. I just wish you could do the same on
Microsoft's site. Windows 3.0 and below, DOS 5.0 and below would do the  trick!
