I've played with this on my 1.6 GHZ Sawtooth. Installing Winderz 2000  
takes quite a while, but once installed it doesn't run =too= badly.  
The main problem I've had is I've found no way to save the  
installation. Shut down Q and I have to reinstall the M$ OS to run it  
again,

Of course YMMV!

I've had success running XP on it, it is a very functional emulator
and although it is last I checked missing some bells and whistles the
commercial emulators have such as shared folders between platforms it
is still a very functional and competent emulator, especially at its
price point of $0.

I have successfully gotten it running Windows98 on my 1G G4 at home.  
Slow as all hell, but it worked.


This is their current website: and there's  
development notices as of March 31 this year.

Free Windows Emulator in Alpha

[Al Poulin]

Hello folks:

Does anybody have experience with Q emulator, now at 0.9.0a89?  OK for  
casual use?  The web site has few user reviews, most back in 2006 with  
previous versions.

Thanks,
Al Poulin
