Is it true that GOG fixes older games that they sell so they are more compatible with newer OS's ? I heard some say this before, could be complete BS though. If they do does Steam do that to ?

So in your opinion you think Steam puts games for purchase that may or may not work on a modern OS ? If the game needs a tweak to run properly who does it the publisher or Steam ?
I'd rather buy all my games on Steam but I rather buy them from a place where they have the best chance of working right.
Is DOSBox for games that wern't made for windows ?

GOG will fix games and also bundle them inside its own installer. It's a double edged sword - the game usually always works with newer OS's, but the installer doesn't like anything older than Windows XP.
Playing old games on new systems? Check.
Playing old games on old systems? Not check.
The installer won't run, so if you want to play some of these games on their original platforms (DOS,95,98) you have to manually extract it on a newer system and copy the right game files over to your old system to play it.
Yes, this is a valid point. One of the reasons I'm a little nervous about eventually purchasing some of my Sierra classics on GoG. Hopefully I can strip away the GoG stuff and just fire the games up on my *real* DOS box.
