When everything is in a VM

What will people use to write the new virtual machines?

f00f_bug        : yes
Why would someone go out of their way to reproduce a bug that is not useful in any way?

The Intel Jews put it in there so it has to be useful. It's like the Bible. Even though Jews mistranscribed it over the years, it's still the Word of God.

IBM needs that bug to properly run the VM that runs the OS that runs the emulator that runs the interpreter to an ancient COBOL-dialect that feeds everything to a big block of binary data that was encoded from punch cards. If that system fails, then millions of mission critical systems that ran super important jobs would fail. Billions of pesos will be lost. Millions of people will die (probably you). Thus, compatibility must remain in place in perpetuity.

>>6
IBM was dead long before the foof bug existed.

>>7
Which makes their need of it just an even greater mystery.

Bellard just emulated the ID of the early Pentium that happened to have this bug; the kernel doesn't actually try to determine if it has the bug or not because that's impossible without locking the machine up ("Checking for F00F bug... If your computer doesn't respond in 5 seconds, please press the reset button."!?) --- it's going on CPUID alone.

Then again, since it's a minimal emulator with barely enough instructions to get the kernel working, there are probably some other bugs it has.

You have a strange definition of dead.

THERE IS NO GOD DAMNED MACHINECODE

Our perception of reality is a virtual machine running on top of the universe

The Jews put the F00F bug in there on purpose. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

>>4
Because, in general, if you can't prove that nobody will use a feature one must assume that the feature is used.  Suppose someone has a F00F bug demo program?  Suppose someone tries to run an OS that includes buggy F00F protection code that crashes if the CPU doesn't behave in the exact same way the Pentium did?

It's a real wonder that PC emulators like dosemu / dosbox work as well as they do. Even the simplest architecture can be made ridiculously complex through the need to preserve behavior like this, and the x86 is not simple.
