No, you are not flamed for being OT (at least not by me), but for writing 
nonsense. VMWare is not derived from plex86. Plex86's old name is 
FreeMWare, because it was intened as a free replacement for VMWare. Plex86 
is based on bochs.

I'd say it's not that slower, because it only emulates the CPU for 
privileged instructions.

Which games do such things?
