Today I wanted to inspect an old version of the Symbol font shipped with Windows since at least Windows 3.
I created a KVM virtual machine and ran a Windows 95 hard disk image. Windows wouldn’t load though — some searching suggests it happens when the host CPU is > 2.1Ghz.

I probably shouldn’t be surprised but I was impressed by Linux and that I was able to just mount the image without installing anything special.

@amacd31 pointed out you can do the same thing with https://www.pcjs.org/ and skip the VM. Just run it in a browser and download the floppy image. Anyway I thought it was fun. Our operating systems are pretty neat these days, especially open source ones.Show this thread
