I think you have to get the Device Driver Kit, which is the ONLY
place Microsoft expects people to do any work in Assembly anymore.
 There are other places to grab a 'legal' copy of MASM.  I bought
a boxed set of the last version Microsoft ever sold as a retail
box off eBay about two years ago.

It would be neat if Microsoft would produce 'Microsoft Visual
Assembler .NET' but I think they discourage that sort of thing.  I
have Visual Basic for MS-DOS, though (it's pretty cool in some
regards).
