something must have changed their mind…. I’m sure the rise of dos extender based stuff being why they needed the 486 emulation code. Not to mention You had compilers like Borland that used 386 instructions on Win16 applications.

On the Dec Alpha we had !FX32 so I never even looked at NTVDM at running things like DooM. I was more so surprised it ran.
