Can Dioscuri run more modern operating systems like Windows?

Dioscuri is not yet capable of running modern operating systems (MS Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/Vista, Linux Fedora/Ubuntu/etc.). This is because the current emulated processor in Dioscuri only supports 16-bit. As most modern operating systems require a 32-bit processor, these OSes will not run. As listed in the roadmap, the Dioscuri development team is currently working on a 32-bit version of the emulated processor. The first phase is to run MS Windows 3.11. After that, newer OSes will be tested.
