Why no Computer emulators?

[Alucard_The_Dex]

I see alota game emulators and such but nothing for Operating systems. For instance Qemu emulates hardware to run a OS on. Its Emulation isnt it? Just wondering.

Um there are Macintosh emulators that are emulated up to OS9 (Sheepshaver, and some other I can't pronounce), and one for X, but its slow. Plus some other emulators that emulate stuff I could not remember.

Haven't you heard of VMware and VirtualPC? They are probably the most used and well known emulators out there.

I know of them And i chose Qemumanager. But none of the 4 are on the homepage to my knowledge And infact there are 100s of legal "Roms" if you enjoy linux so why nothing about them at all?

The short answer is they are likely not the most popular..

Everyone wants consoles, and that's really what EZ started with, so that's pretty much it.. There is a section on the site somewhere with SOME PC emulators I think, but I don't know where it is cause I've never gotten them from here either.
