I can't help but notice that "Everything seems to work" comes at a
price for any operating system. There is a parallel "you can't do
that" to go along with that. With Linux, you can "do anything you
want" including break the operating system and then hack on it to fix it.
At the same time Linux users must develop routines to fix what they break. The
powerful "sudo rm -f" command comes with a price.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

How else do you think you could run Windows under a VM on an
Apple box, if they were not using the exact same parts inside?
Exactly the same way you can run a Sinclair QL emulator on PC
hardware. A QL used a Motorola 68008 not an Intel/clone x86 processor for
starters; used custom ULAs to handle screen, (1/2) serial port IO,
keyboard.
A hint comes in the meaning of the V of VM: Virtual Machine
- the VM hides the real machine and emulates the machine the program (in this
case, the Windwos OS (sic)) is expecting. So no exact same parts
are required inside. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
