Perhaps I am not making myself clear on this one.

I will try to rephrase it.

In a game for game XYZ, you have on the compatibility section 3 icons. One DOSBOX, one VDMS, one windowsXP.

The Dosbox means of course that the game needs/can run within DOSBOX.

The WIndowsXP means that the game runs fine without further emulation (perhaps clicking an option or two in the compatibility of the exe).

the VDMS means that the game needs/can be run with VDMS (if you choose to avoid DOSBOX in this case) under windows XP. right?

SO, when you have a game that has only the DOSBOX and the VDMS icons it means that the game can be run either under dosbox or under windows(XP) WITH VDMS??? IF so, then isn't the inclusion of the XP icon in games that need at least VDMS something that is not needed?

Also, having the icon of VDMS in the review, doesn't it mean that the game runs under windows but with the use of VDMS only?
