> computers are more complicated than they were 20 years ago. Feels like Windows (maybe modern PCs) just doesn't work as well as it used to. Ran Windows 7 x64 for years with very little complaint, 8.1 wasn't great UI wise but worked.

10 onward just seems to lag & crash more. Totally crazy theory would be that binary compatibility (and dependencies) doesn't work well once the original author of a piece of code has retired (or died).

Would need an emulated MacOS GPU. The only way I could see this working is that there is a way through OS X hypervisor on Big Sur or > to passthrough metal.

The price for high levels of consistency. This is why Apple doesn't have the obsolete remnants problem that Windows does.

I'm not sure why this was ever dropped, if I remember right back in the early 2010s, this ran XP very usable on a C2D XP laptop. Pretty sure I even got 7 working at some point, the only real limit was that it absolutely could not run 64 bit vms.
