  • Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux

    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.1 to All on Fri May 1 14:20:42 2026
    "With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!"

    That is interesting news. I have some old SimCity games that I keep an old Win98SE machine around for. I may need to check this out.
