Supposedly for those out there that may have tons of "production" code that's still running in dBase III/IV, FoxBase whatever, etc. dbDOS creates some sort of virtual machine environment that allows these prehistoric relics to come back to life and play nice on new hardware and OSs that are light-years ahead of what they were back then (e.g., Windows 7). (I guess it could be sort of cool to see a Pterodactyl running an iPhone app.)

I don't see why would anyone buy this when there's a free DosBox, which works even on a linux box. I mostly use it to run a few old games - BlockOut above all.
