DOS Subsystem on Vista

Does anyone know if there are any functionality changes with the subsystem on Vista? I'm concerned about the potential impact to application compatibility.

Still haven't found a clear answer but did find this for Vista.

I found this in the Win2K Resource Kit online.

I found no mention of the DOS subsystem in the Vista Resource Kit and now I am trying to track down the Windows XP resource kit to see what info is in there. The angle I am trying to take is to find out if anything changed in the DOS subsystem between Win2K and XP because according to the first article the subsystem is identical between XP and Vista.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
