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.)
