Neither can Linux, or any other OS I have ever heard of.

Right, and most DOS users are not also Linux users, either. :-)
But all Linux users I met in Real Life are also Windows users, which
probably means that if somebody likes Linux, he also likes Windows.
Mathematically, this implies that if somebody does *not* like Windows,
he also does not like Linux. ;-)
I once met a Linux user who tried to persuade me to switch to Linux. I
asked what I should do with my DOS software then, and he suggested using
VMware. I asked at what speed it would run in VMware, and he told me
that it would at least run at half speed. So I asked him "Why would I
change my OS just to have my software run at half speed?". "To be able
to use Linux, of course!", he answered. So I asked him "And why would I
want to do that?". He didn't know an answer to that question. ;-)
