In 1986, I had a full hardware Macintosh emulator (the Magic Sac with replaced Mac ROMs) and MS-DOS (in an 8088 software emulator called “Virtual PC”) on my Atari-ST. I used my college's MS-DOS Turbo Pascal on my faster-than-Apple 68000 TOS system (8.0 MHz vs. 7.1 MHz clock speed) that summer.

I like Apple (and we use iPhones), but really, you need to put this into the context of reality. Apple computers are nice, but are not evidence of “superior” knowledge of capability.

And this website you link to is simply idiotic.

That is, “knowledge or capability.” Sadly, I am typing on my iPhone 6+.

I still prefer real keyboards.

And I was doing the same thing on my Amiga 3000. So what. That is not a virtual Machine, but was a software emulation. The Amiga would do it faster than the Atari because of the eight co-processors that handled a lot of what the processor on the Atari had to handle by itself. Your VirtualPC was a software emulation.

As to the running Virtual Machines in a Mac, they are running natively in sandboxes and are not software emulations. I do put this into the context of reality. I DO what I said I do and have been doing it professionally for years. . . that is reality.
