- clouddrover 9y agoHere's a Microsoft Channel 9 video in which they talk about the x86 emulation layer: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2017/P4171 https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2017/P4171

- comex 9y agoThe difference, as it pertains to the patent issue, is nothing technical - it's simply that Intel feels threatened by Microsoft's emulator and not by qemu. (Though if Intel has ever redistributed qemu, there may be an additional GPL wrinkle...)
- rwmj 9y agoIntel contributes to qemu (or at least, developers with @intel.com email addresses contribute). However AFAIK they don't contribute to the emulation code (TCG).
