Virtual consoles using ntvdm

[Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo]

A crazy idea ..


What about implementing some kind of virtual consoles, just like Linux? The
point is, using ntvdm subsystem, we could allow only console (DOS) apps to
run in there. And some kind of "you are running a console. Switch to
desktop to run this app!" Message is anyone tried to run another stuff

What do you think?

A side effect could be, allow remote connections, etc ... :)

Hi,

 

That’s on my plan, and this is certainly not to be done in ntvdm, as it’s indeed just
another console app, so you would better implement your multiple consoles in winsrv.dll /
win32k / whatever (actually the best way would be using a similar architecture as Win10).

 

Best,

Hermes
