Tom’s Hardware notes that emulation is not the same as virtualization. Emulation simulates a specific hardware platform, while virtualization creates virtual resources for multiple operating systems within a single virtual machine.
Screenshots of the demo show poor system performance and screen usage limitations. According to NTDEV_, the system took 20 minutes to boot, making it nearly unusable for everyday use. This may be due to the lack of optimization for the x86 architecture, similar to that used in modern Macs.
