“@Quarex, emulation wins IMNSHO, unless the original hardware was just so unique. Nothing will replace the feel of an old Atari VCS console, and the tiny 9-inch screen, long travel keyboard and boxy mouse of the original Macintosh cannot be...”

“@Zedo-P-Mann, sounds like this Minwin is supposed to be a micro-kernel running NT on top of it. Micro-kernels are supposed to be better than monolithic, kernels, but I've not seen a difference from the user or programmer prospective, I've run...”
