Does NTVDM Have As Good Compatibility As DOS?

Does NTVDM have as good 16-bit compatibility as DOS? It sure seems so.

 

[Nigel Spike]

"In general, VDM and similar technologies do not satisfactorily run most older DOS games on today's computers. Emulation is only provided for the most basic peripherals, often implemented incompletely"

"The 16-bit real-mode system files are stripped down derivations of their MS-DOS 5.0 equivalents IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM"

Quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_DOS_machine#NTVDM

Haven't compared myself, but according to Wikipedia, no.
