Java-based x86 Emulator
Just when you think you’ve seen everything, someone makes an x86 emulator that runs completely within Java at a usable speed for DOS-type things. You probably won’t be able to run Vista in it (heh), but it’s still kind of cool.
“Researchers at Oxford have built an x86 emulator that runs purely on Java, making it ideal for security researchers who want to analyze and archive viruses, host honeypots and defend themselves against buggy or malicious software without hosing their machines.”
