Continue reading Microsoft Device Emulator lets you run Windows Mobile 6 on your PC
Have a Nokia N770/N800/N810 Internet Tablet? Do you keep staring at it's tiny web-surfing screen wishing it could run some of the same applications you used to love on your old Palm Pilot? Now you can. 
ScummVM has hit its first double digit (but still beta) release. ScummVM started out as a game engine capable of running old LucasArts games built for the Scumm engine. Over the last few years, it's transformed over the years into a cross-platform system for running dozens of classic video games, including some early Sierra Adventure games.
Another holiday has come and gone, and you've discovered nobody loves you enough to buy you an $800 video game console. But if you've got a Playstation Portable or a Windows Mobile devices (particularly a Dell Axim X50v or X51v), there's good news on the video game front.
I've been having to use VirtualPC (among others) for virtualization for ages, so running an OS inside another OS is pretty old hat for me. But for a lot of folks, the new virtualization tools have really, finally arrived. Let's face it, hardware has finally gotten to a point where doing this kind of stuff isn't nearly as painful as it used to be. I'm not saying it's great, but at least we're moving beyond the point of "which runs faster than a box turtle." Rick Cook has an excellent article at informit.com on hypervisors, from what it does to what it needs and how you can use it. Rick breaks down the major offerings, and talks about what's lacking. This stuff is finally breaking loose, and for a future Intel-based Mac owner, I couldn't be happier.
While everyone knows that DOS programs can be run
in any version of Windows in the command prompt, if you've ever tried to play a classic DOS game on your modern system
you may have been disappointed.
If you're really intent on getting that classic version of Out of this World (Another World for our European friends) from 1991 working on your Windows XP box (or Mac OS X, Linux or even BeOS machine), check out DOSBox.
DOSBox can emulate 286 & 386
processors in realmode and protected mode, handles extended memory managers like XMS and EMS, emulates a myriad of
graphics subsystems including Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, and of course the obligatory SoundBlaster
emulation.
