Some other products such as VMware and Virtual PC use similar approaches to Bochs and QEMU, however they use a number of advanced techniques to shortcut most of the calls directly to the CPU (similar to the process that JIT compiler uses) to bring the speed to near native in most cases.

Structure of monolithic kernel and microkernel-based operating systems, respectively. Reflecting on the nature of monolithic kernel based systems, where a driver (which has, according to Minix creator Tanenbaum, approximately 3–7 times as many bugs as a usual program) [17] can bring down the whole system, [18] Minix 3 aims to create an operating system that is a "reliable, self-healing ...
