WinXP and old program compatibility

[Lionel Chin]

I've just upgraded to a P4 with WinXP because some of my hardware
requires a faster system to do the tasks like realtime capture.
However, I still use some legacy DOS based or Win9X/ME editing
software which I am not sure of whether will work in WinXP. Its either
I'm more comfortable using the older versions or there aren't any XP
versions that I still use them.

As I am new to the XP operating system and environment, I would
appreciate any comments and/or advice on the compatibility between XP
and programs from these former operating systems. Thanks in advance.
