QEMU Status Report

Happy Birthday

QEMU is 15 this year

0.1 Release

From: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2003-March/015577.html

Hi,

The first release of the QEMU x86 emulator is available at
http://bellard.org/qemu/. QEMU achieves a fast user space Linux x86
emulation on x86 and PowerPC Linux hosts by using dynamic translation.
Its main goal is to be able to run the Wine project on non-x86
architectures.

Fabrice.
