I would expect it to not use TSO, because the toggle for it isn't, to the best of my knowledge, a general userspace toggle. It's something the kernel has to toggle, and so a VM may or may not (probably does not) even have access

My guess is that the sort of "legacy x86-forever" apps for Windows don't really need much in the way of performance. Think your classic Visual Basic 6 sort of thing that a business relies on for decades. I'm also fairly
