@mike Ooh, an OS (Win95) running on an OS (Electron) running on an OS (whatever underneath), probably running on a hypervisor because who'd install Electron on their actual machine, running on an OS, all to run a copy of Doom that *already* runs on your metal. Cool.
I'm trying this an an alternative to running QuarkXpress in either a Windows 7 VM or in WINE. I haven't gotten it to work in WINE yet, and the Windows 7 VM takes a lot of space, so this might be good for running the single WIndows app that I need.
