x86 Besides the CPU the following is emulated: * CD-ROM/DVD-drive using an ISO-Image * Floppy disk * Graphics card (”Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA”-card or standard-VGA-Graphics card with Bochs-VESA-BIOS-Extensions& – Hardware level, including all non-standard modes, and with an experimental patch simple 3D via OpenGL) * Network card (RealTek 8139C+ PCI-Network adapter) and a DHCP-server [...]
Some live CDs come with an installation utility launchable from a desktop icon that can optionally install the system on a hard drive or USB flash drive. Most live CDs can access the information on internal and/or external hard drives, diskettes and USB flash drives. Generally live CDs are booted from read-only media, requiring either [...]
Real-time operating systems A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system intended for applications with fixed deadlines (real-time computing). Such applications include some small embedded systems, automobile engine controllers, industrial robots, spacecraft, industrial control, and some large-scale computing systems. An early example of a large-scale real-time operating system was Transaction Processing Facility developed [...]
Although Microsoft’s implementation of the Windows API is copyrighted, it is generally accepted due to legal precedents in the United States that other vendors can emulate Windows by providing an identical API (but not an identical implementation in code) without breaching copyright. The Wine project is an attempt to provide a Win32 API compatibility layer [...]
MS-DOS and Win32 console FreeDOS is mostly compatible with MS-DOS. It supports .COM executables, standard DOS executables and Borland’s 16-bit DPMI executables. It is also possible to run 32-bit DPMI executables using DOS extenders. The operating system has several improvements relative to MS-DOS, mostly involving support of newer standards and technologies that did not exist [...]
Oracle VM VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package, originally created by German software company innotek GmbH, purchased by Sun Microsystems, and now developed by Oracle Corporation as part of its family of virtualization products. It is installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional guest operating systems, each known as a [...]
Emulation allows the use of some Windows applications without using Microsoft Windows. These include: *Wine — a free and open source software implementation of the Windows API, allowing one to run many Windows applications on x86-based platforms, including Linux and Mac OS X. Wine developers refer to it as a “compatibility layer”; and make use [...]
* BeOS kernel ** Haiku kernel * Syllable * BSD-based ** DragonFly BSD (first non-Mach BSD OS to use a hybrid kernel, concepts inspired by AmigaOS) ** XNU kernel (core of Darwin, used in Mac OS X) * NetWare kernel * Plan 9 kernel ** Inferno kernel * NT kernel (used in Windows NT 3.1, [...]
AbiWord is a free and open source software word processor. It was originally started by SourceGear Corporation as the first part of a proposed AbiSuite. Development stopped when SourceGear changed their focus to Internet appliances. AbiWord was adopted by some open source developers and AbiWord continued to be developed. The name “AbiWord” (pronounced “Abby Word”) [...]

The core Wine development aims at a correct implementation of the Windows API as a whole and has sometimes lagged in some areas of compatibility with certain applications. Direct3D, for example, remained unimplemented until 1998, although newer releases have had an increasingly complete implementation. CodeWeavers markets CrossOver specifically for running Microsoft Office and other major [...]
In 2007, Alksnis launched a campaign to promote the use of free software such as the Linux operating system in Russian state institutions to secure software independence. In February 2008 he joined forces with Aleksandr Ponosov, a school teacher accused of software piracy, to form Center of Free Technology, a non-profit initiative which will research [...]
