fat 32 Barry? Limited to 4GB partitions, no file system permissions (bad for security imho). Win 98SE was an OK system, but had many issues, my main gripe that it's not a multi user operating system. Of course, if you're the only user, so be it. Nice 'n' easy to crack. Oh, and it's no longer supported by Microsoft, so there's lots of nice juicy bugs for crackers to take advantage of.
Vista has DOS - good enough for me to drop to a command line when and if needed. And DOS, as an operating system blows. Horrid operating system. But then, I'm a UNIX guy so...make of that what you want.
As to DOS finding lots of hidden things, you can still find them, you just have to know what you're doing [with DOS]. But then, it's easy just to boot off a Linux live DVD/CD and mount the drive and get to work.
If you need a copy of Windows 7, I'm sure Warren will already have one floating around, if not let me know and I'll burn a copy for you and post it down.
