Yes, although there are various technical limitations that may come into play. For instance, not all DOS applications will run properly in a Command Prompt on Windows. The Command Prompt in Windows Vista and Windows 7, for instance, can only run text-mode DOS applications. 64-bit versions cannot run DOS applications at all. The best workaround is to use DOSBox, a DOS emulator, to run any applications that will not run in the Command Prompt.
As for "native" installations, it is still possible to install and run MS-DOS and applications on modern computers, although changes may need to be made in the BIOS to enable hard drive access, and modern sound cards are incompatible with virtually all DOS programs.

Why won't QBasic work on Windows Vista?
Many DOS applications simply will not run under Windows Vista, and none under the 64-bit version.

You can use QBasic and other DOS programs on Vista (even the 64-bit version) by using an emulator known as DOSBox.
