Universal Emulators Return

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-soon-lead-to-helium-3 dept.

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?"

  2. Apple to move to Opteron? by 9uG · · Score: 0, Troll

    Maybe this is Apple's chance to jump ship from PPC/IBM/Motorola and use the Opteron? There was a rumor they were developing an intel versin of OSX next to the PPC version, so why not move to AMD64 and ditch PPC? This emulator could be just what the doctor ordered.

    Cool, maybe you'll stop beating her up then.

    Yeah, that's what I'd say to you, if I was a troll.

    Also, I like your pseudonym.

    Ooops. I'm not good at this trolling thing I guess.
