My only questions is: Why would we want binary compatability? Every
OS/app that I can think of that used this as a selling feature (OS/2,
Wine, Win95 for Win 3.1 apps) failed miserably at the emulation
(unforseen gotchas!), and tended to fail to attract the attention of
the end users.
I would prefer to see us focus on the process of building an awesome
OS, and have our *own* major selling points draw people to us.
Tks,
