The Null Device

Penguinhead news: Open-source VMWare-alike Plex86 now runs MS-DOS in a virtual machine. Which brings it up to DosEMU's level of functionality, only by a more complex route. Eventually, it will run stuff like Windenburg 98 and Linux, or so it's hoped. Then again, GNUStep was also said to eventually be a megadoovy object-oriented environment reminiscent of NeXTSTEP. And I won't even mention open-source whipping-boy Mozilla. (For my money, I'd probably buy the personal edition of VMWare if I had a faster Intel machine; it works quite well already and it's not like it's expensive; though good luck to Plex86 anyway. If they pull it off, it'll be pretty cool.)
