Instruction Sets Virtualization

Question

Windows runs on x86 based CPUs only. Is it possible to make Windows run on non-x86 architecture CPUs like POWER, SPARC, ARM, etc.... I know that there is a program viz., Virtual PC 7 for Mac that allows Windows to be run on PowerPC inside MAC OS but not much detail available.... I'm talking about virtualization in a sense that allows HOST and GUEST machines CPU architectures be different....

Answer 1

Take a look at DOSBox (an x86 emulator) its an open source project that emulates x86 runs on a lot of platforms, and can even run Windows 3.11 on those platforms.

Answer 2

Try QEMU: http://www.qemu.org/index.html.
