In theory, yes.

Ok, if I really don't notice it's using software-emulation... Maybe.
But even only the knowledge it's software-emulation gives me the creeps...
I don't think a perfect software-emulation can be done, you will at least
need a hell of a processor for it. And if you want to use the new features
of this 'new' MSX, when the code won't be Z80-code (otherwise at least
CPU-emulation wouldn't have been nessacary). I don't think that a machine
which is backwards compatible with MSX but has other native code can still
be called an MSX.
And by the way, I don't think software-emulation can time correctly (like
T-states etc.)

That indeed slaat nergens op.

Emulator users are definately MSX-ers (although I don't think they use it
very often, in the beginning, maybe, but after a year the fun of an emulator
is gone. So most of them are very 'temporary' users I think).

Me? Track? I would have liked it, but Track isn't made anymore, so...
