It's not a general solution yet, but the first fully open source PC BIOS code has just booted Win 2K. Not an emulator or virtual machine. http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/Projects/sebos/phase2.shtml Note that virtualisation (c.f. emulation) of hardware isn't necessarily A Bad Thing. All disks nowadays provide a logical interface exported by the disk controller, not the actual bits on the platter and OSs support RAID and logical volumes: done right these *improve* performance. VNC provides a virtual frame buffer over the network which may not have the raw performance of native video card, but is perfectly adequate for many purposes, especially if the network can make better bandwidth and latency guarantees. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
