No multitasking

That can also be an advantage, if you only want to run one program at a time and you don't want lots of other shit in memory slowing your system down DOS is great.
Also as there is no swap file you don't have to worry about defragmenting your hard drive. You can also delete programs with out worrying about parts of them still being in memory.
You can also get multitasking shells for DOS.

Notice how you use the word "still". If you do nothing else on your computer than using Works (which is a product that causes a lot of compatability issues in my experience) it's very possible that you never receive any BSOD's.
However, browsing a lot on the internet with Internet Explorer is already a security issue and may slow down your computer, making it unresponsive, hogging up your memory resulting in a BSOD.
To go back on your use of Microsoft Works, I can't see why so many people didn't threw it away when they (probably) got it with their computer.
OpenOffice.org ($ 0, open source) and WordPerfect Office ($ 300, commercial) are far superior products. I recommend OpenOffice.org to you, because it suits the needs of a Works user.
