Do they ? It's a shame the OSFree project has never got much support, it would be great if it got to the point where it could run gui apps.

- i336_ 11y agoI understand Parallels was formed by a bunch of Russian hackers who were originally contracted to make a huge bank's OS/2-based software system run on new computers without OS/2 drivers. The big issue was that OS/2's kernel operated in Ring 0, and no existing virtualization/emulation systems supported the relevant CPU instructions. I wonder if that bank is still running on OS/2... :P
- PhantomGremlin 11y agoI heard that Parallels got a head start by, ahem, inheriting a substantial amount of code from VMware. It's something I read online a while ago but haven't been able to google any confirmation to. Anybody know anything they're willing to share publicly?
