: : NEVER HEARD OF IT. What is an emulator?

: Hi James -
:
: An emulator is a software program that makes your computer behave like something that it is not. For example, you can install a Commodore C64 emulator on your IBM type computer. Now you can load C64 programs into the emulator and run them on your IBM just as they would run on a C64. The emulator works by translating each C64 machine language code into a series of IBM processor codes that will do the same thing. The emulator also works at a higher level. Another example: The C64 program might have a small series of instructions that calls a routine in the C64's bios to print a character to the screen. The emulator translates these instructions to work with the IBM bios.

Ok... so could I run windows applications on a Linux OS? Or is this more of a hardware thing?
