A new Intel Itanium (IA-64) emulator that boots Windows

The emulation community is buzzing as Yufeng Gao and gdwnldsKSC release a new Intel Itanium emulator capable of booting Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP 64-bit. Although performance currently lags behind modern standards, this breakthrough proves that the long-forgotten IA-64 architecture can run on contemporary hardware. While OpenVMS and HP-UX remain unsupported for now, this development offers hope for preserving legacy systems and potentially running them in the future.
