This is only your opinion/taste, others may think else.

Depends mostly on program, not (only) on OS.

Sure? Try to "copy and paste", say, MS Office or Adobe Reader. I sure,
you will be disappoined.
Of course, there exist programs for Windows, which are partially or
completely portable between directories or even different Windows
installations (because store data files in user directories and not touch
Windows directories and registry), but this is not very widespread under
Windows, unfortunately. And MS itself can't be used as example of
well-behaved programs.

1. .inf files are not drivers, this is just text files with description,
what to copy/run/remove between files and what add to registry.
2. Windows drivers can't work under FreeDOS at all just because absolutely
different environment and interfaces. I should say more: Windows NT (2000,
XP, Vista) drivers can't work under Win9x and Win9x .386 drivers can't work
under Windows NT. And even more: under Vista MS plans to disregard common
drivers models just because it expects, that all drivers should be different
- MS developers thinks, this add more protection against copying media
files.
3. FreeDOS can't get more compatible with Windows interfaces, else this
become no more DOS clone - if you want run Windows drivers and applications,
use Windows clones, not FreeDOS.

Roxana, you try to devise some ideal layout for organizing files.
First at all, this is impossible in principle - each scheme have own pro and
own cons. Secondly, this is too late for FreeDOS team to require from 3rd
party developers to support your layout. No one will follow one specific
layouts, especially because only users decide, which layout fits their
purposes.

I view only text part and never will enable HTML there.
