command.com vs cmd.exe (was Re: Error on system() in fP 5.0.14 Win32 - Need Help)

At Thu, Sep 02, 2010 at 10:44:08AM -0400 or thereabouts, 
suspect Kenneth Brody was observed uttering:

I bet it does.  Install XP Mode, and I bet command.com is inside XP Mode,
just not natively present in Win7.  As I understand it, XP Mode is
essentially a full WinXP VM, unless someone misinformed me.  Hence my
expectation that it's still possible to get at command.com in a roundabout
way.

Am I right?
