Close. The answer is actually that consumers don't want this.

Refalm:
OEM's are required by Microsoft to install one operating system on their computer.

Two is not allowed.

People could still have Windows but would have to start in this DOS then if Windows was giving them problems it would be easy to go to another operating system or use DOS.

Because Windows NT is more stable than DOS, I remember how often Win9x used to BSOD compared to XP.

We're not talking about Windows XP, we're talking about Windows NT vs. MS-DOS.

And Windows NT is still more stable than MS-DOS. Of course, it doesn't have a chance of beating UNIX for a second, but still.
