What operating systems will JPC run?
In principle, we can run any OS that runs on an IBM PC, including Linux, DOS, and Windows. This includes systems for which there is no longer any available support; e.g. JPC is a safe environment in which to run legacy Windows 95 code. We are currently developing more x86 execution modes, have tested DOS and are now developing further Linux compatibility.
JPC is a pure Java emulation of an x86 PC with fully virtual peripherals. It runs anywhere you have a JVM, whether x86, RISC, mobile phone, set-top box, possibly even your refrigerator! All this, with the bulletproof security and stability of Java technology.
JPC creates a virtual computer upon which you can install your favorite operating system in a safe, flexible and powerful way. It aims to give you complete control over your favorite PC software's execution environment, whatever your real hardware or operating system, and JPC's multi-layered security makes it the safest solution for running the most dangerous software in quarantine - ideal for archiving viruses, hosting honey pots, and protecting your machine from malicious or unstable software.
Cross-Platform
JPC is completely implemented in Java, so it works seamlessly across all major computing platforms, including Windows, Linux and MacOS. JPC even works on non-x86 based hardware like ARM and SPARC.
Secure
JPC comes with the assured security of being run entirely within the Java sandbox. This means that the emulated hardware is completely isolated from the underlying hardware and cannot damage or interfere with it in any way.
Flexible
With JPC, you have complete configuration control with virtual peripherals and software libraries. And if you mess up, you only mess up your virtual PC. Just delete your disk images and start again. For more information about the technology behind JPC, see Key Features Explained. As an added bonus, JPC gives you a few handy side effects:
Relive your childhood by playing your favorite DOS games
Hack your virtual computer, then delete it
Take your computer with you on your mobile phone
Run a million identical virtual PC's on a million different devices
