16 Bit Application Support in WinXP x64

Good Day all,

Does Windows XP 64 bit still support 16-bit applications ?

I don't wanna download a trial version, then find a DOS app and test : P. (
Yeah maybe I'm lazy , but that's why the internet is so popular)

Oh... really...

At least I admit I am lazy , but I did a brief search on the product
information pages and could find no info pertaining to 16-bit application
support.

A quick yes or no will do : ) ?

Out of the box: no!

Yes, if you use Vmware, VirtualPC, DosBox or Bochs ...

You cannot use Virtual PC on x64 Windows.

I am not sure MS's plan for Virtual PC, but you can use Microsoft Virtual
Server 2005 on a 64 bit platiform.

If there is an installation block, that's new for SP1 - as you could
install, but not get support for, running VS on XP 32-bit.
