Well, what I actually meant to type was "you can't". But yes. What
you said, not what I said.

(The biggest problem here is the processor, of course. Emulating
another operating system for the same processor is relatively easy,
especially if you have open acess to the binary file format and
OS-provided libraries. Which is why Mac OS X can so easily have a
classic mode.)
