Is the author surprised by that, or did you just misread it? The only relevant quote on that page that I see is “It is impressive to see Quake run at full speed knowing that Windows 95 runs DOS executable in a virtual machine.”
He is perhaps surprised that it runs _at speed_ in the VM, not that it runs in the VM which he already knows about.
- maybewhenthesun 11mo agoI mean VM86 is not really a VM in the modern sense of the word. And the author doesn't seem to know.
- rasz 11mo agoThat and the fact Quake doesnt run in VM85 mode, it explicitly runs in _protected_.
- maybewhenthesun 11mo agoThat as well, yes.
