Well Vista is always a problem, and is good to get rid of, but DosBox also requires at least a Pentium III with 1.5Ghz for acceptable emulation speed. So if your computer is somewhere close to it you would want to get a much faster PC than that, like Pentium 4 with 2.8Ghz or even better for some stronger games.

Most games work with DOSBox (see here), what I don't know is whether there are some issues for DOSBox to run in Vista. Even in that case I guess the devs will fix those in coming versions of DOSBox.

Dosbox 0.72 runs flawless in Vista32 and Vista64.
Only thing is you better stay in your own documents folder.
Further on there is no difference running dosbox in XP or Vista.

Of course if you have an underpowered PC and Vista crawls on it don't expect that dosbox will run smoothly. But same goes for DBox in XP.

Maybe he just has to mess with the appropriate DOS settings (EMS, loadfix...) for each game.

Sempron 2500+ @ 1,75 gHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP here. While not everything is super-fast, most games in DOSBox run at acceptable speeds.
