Universal Emulators Return

webmilhouse writes "Wired has an article about Transitive Corporation that claims their software "allows any software application binary to run on any processor/operating system" without any performance hit. That would allow any program written for Windows to run on Linux or Mac, and vice-versa, which Wired likened to digital alchemy. The Transitive software is supposed to be released today. What do you think, vaporware or miracle?"

I'm calling bullsh!t on this one. Processor differences being what they are I don't see this working. All other attempts at this have been so-so, to make a product like this "whithout a processing hit" sounds like this was written in some new programming language, perhaps one based on Magic.
