Well, Windows does detect common 16 bit installer stubs and automatically invokes the 32 bit installer, even if it can't natively execute the 16 bit code.

It was a curious choice to not emulate 16 bit code on 64 bit Windows though. Remember all of the RISC versions included software emulation of 16 bit Intel code.

Nobody's freaking out, you tard. You are begging the question. It's unsettled as to the dangers to health and the environment. Nobody knows for sure. You are like the assholes in the 40s and 50s who probably said the same shit about cigarettes. When it's unsettled I tend to land on the side of microscopic pieces of fucking plastic in my bloodstream being a bad thing. But I'm not "freaking out" over anything and still live my life like a gluttonous America .

In 2001, it was feasible (but herculean) to build a new alternative browser core.

Today, I really wonder how this could be done. A Chromium fork is possible in theory, but the community size needed to maintain it just doesn't seem to exist. Any fork driven commercially is going to have the same incentives as the current one.
