One thing kind of interesting is that not even the Windows WoW64 allows running 16 bit applications. Officially, if you want to run 16 bit applications on 64 bit Windows, you have to get a VM or an emulator.

    A decade ago, I remember explaining to management why we still had Windows Server 2008 R2 running terminal services with Citrix. Ancient 16-bit applications that needed a 16-bit subsystem!
