    It is impressive to see Quake run at full speed knowing that Windows 95 runs DOS executable in a virtual machine.

    To be clear, I don’t think it wasn’t a virtual machine in the modern hypervisor sense (as the term often implies today), nor in the bytecode interpreter sense (à la Java).

    Really cool bit of computing history. Thanks.
