If the VM depends on hardware virtualization support, you can only go one layer deep. If the VM does not depend on hardware support, then sure you should be able to nest multiple layers.
For really old software, you can probably get away with fairly high overhead emulation rather than virtualization, and it would probably be less buggy. I would imagine something like qemu would have no trouble booting up windows 95.

- mook 5y agoWas there even hardware virtualization support to take advantage of if you're going that old?
