What HN said

What people liked

  • Impressive, well executed emulation

    • I can't argue with that, was just giving some feedback in case you wanted to look into it. Oddly enough, it froze around the time I tried launching IE 3.0 :) Either way, really…

Objections

  • Download takes a while and stalls after completion message

    From 2 comments
    • It isn't starting here. Maybe the download hasn't complete, but it says it has.

    • There's a 47MB disk image it has to download. That's after the "All downloads are complete" message, unfortunately.
