AS I understand it D/D isn't happy with Windows at all. Adding 
RAM doesn't affect this. I have this from the UK distributors 
of this product, at a demonstration of it recently.

They say, ingeniously, that as D/D enables you to run any DOS-based 
application by voice control alone, who needs Windows, fancy 
interfaces, mice, etc etc - just talk to your PC!

Am anxious to hear from any other users of the D/D system anywhere, 
for more info/experiences with this system.
