Also, just figuring I should mention it, one good feature Plex86 could have that even VMWare lacks would be hardware forwarding so you can map IRQ, memory ranges, DMA, etc... to the VM in the case of the host OS (Linux) not supporting it...

intercept Ctrl-Alt-Shift F1 to F12 keys and map F1 to the Plex86 Kernel
config, F2 to Linux, and F3 to Windows...
For example (see image):

[Image]That would be a sweet cool thing I think.Can't see much advantage to it. Plex86 would need a complete set of
device drivers rather than just using those of the host OS. Also
all OSen would run at emulated/virtualised speed. Under the current
setup the host OS runs at native speed. What practical advantage is
there to a bare-metal virtualiser over a hosted one?
