I noticed that Windows 2000 does not boot up in QEMU recently. After bisecting
the issue I found the offending commit:
w2k is very ancient (and long time EOLed), I can't even download it from msdn
to test
(oldest available is XP)
do we really care about it?
Red Hat: "No, not really."
FOSS: "Yes, of course!"
Half the fun of QEMU (see also: QEMU Advent Calendar) is running old
software. Technology moves so fast that even software from just 17 years
ago is becoming impossible to run.
For historical and archival purposes it is absolutely of interest to be
able to run one of Microsoft's most popular operating systems.
Of course, it's not particularly high on anyone's list who is getting
paid to tend to QEMU, of course.
