| | Acorn Gaming: Emulation - IBM <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> compatible |
 | | Not strictly an emulator at all, this is the (complex, clever) frontend software which allows the <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> card that can be fitted to Risc <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> computers to be run in a window on RISC OS - or in fact, at all. | | | A range of <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> cards with different processors were available, but new Risc <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> cards are no longer sold. | | | It does do quite a lot of emulation, however, since the hardware the <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> expects isn't actually present and so this program has to pretend. |

| | Because personal computers are actually computer systems, they are made up of many components, each of which must be technically compatible with the others for the system to function properly. | | | Second, barriers to effective entry into the <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> operating system market are high, and other <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> operating systems cannot easily increase their shares of that market because the huge stock of applications written for Windows 95/98 will not run on those systems. | | | The great majority of operating systems installed on PCs are installed on new machines by OEMs.7 The Page 12 OEM stage of the <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>> industry is competitive, as indicated by the large number of computer makers, thin profit margins, and the absence of a dominant firm.8 24.Both businesses and households purchase PCs. |

| | Larry Osterman's WebLog : It's the platform, Silly! |
| | Just like the IBM <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>>’s documented architecture meant that people could create <<b>bb>>PCb>bb>>’s that were perfect hardware clones of IBM’s PCs (thus ensuring that the hardware was the same across PCs), Microsoft’s platform stability means that you could write for one platform and trust that it works on every machine running on that platform. | | | Windows is a good solution to the problem of running a computer, but it's far from the only solution. | | | When being forced to do computing for a Social Science thing (new rule was can't graduate without doing computers) I passed the vax and went for MSDos (as I had just left a job where we had bought an AT as AT's could print lower case and our mainframes couldn't). |
