Windows 98 SE can be fully accelerated in modern virtualization.Finally MMU TLB invalidation OS bug is been fixed due to speculative MMU in modern CPUs. This is the MOST SIGNIFICANT patch for Windows 98 SE in 20 years since its EOL. It solved many known issues of Windows 98 virtualization that had plagued the OS from harnessing the new level of performance and being useful within virtualization!
