I actually read a very interesting article (google is turning up a blank here,
with the words...) a long while ago about the emulators
IBM had written for, I believe it was, DOS  and Windows apps under OS/2.
Apparently IBM had a very small group of developers "re-write" the stuff
and they generated a significantly faster, smaller and more stable platform
for running M$ apps than M$.    (This was also in an article that some
emulation under a version of Windows actually generated a fault, which
M$ had to "ignore" to actually run the app....they ran on a semi-crashed
system.....gotta love that...)

p.s. if someone else also remembers this article, let me know if they
know where I could find a copy...I'd love to have another copy....
