Windows 95, 98 and ME are "home" OSs, are DOS-based (ME is a bit of a mashup) and load from DOS, run and can be returned to DOS on exit. They can be run on DOSBox in theory (apparently in practice, too).

Windows NT is the "pro" line of OSs. NT4, Windows 2000 (NT5), XP (NT 5.1), Vista (NT6) and 7 (should be 7, hence the name, but a marketing decision made it 6.1). These probably won't run under DOSBox.

The guy above (assuming that's me) said that we could have it, in theory (via -say- a VM or QEMU or something) but even if we could have a stable MS OS, it would drag its feet due to requirements. So, no.
