I think it would be a major benefit to potential users. Either for
VMWare which runs Win/Linux or even win4Lin wich runs on Linux (or
maybe even bochs)
It would save heaps on writing drivers for all that esoteric hardware
out there, if you invested some time into doing a reference VMWare set
of stuff for FS, CPU and term.
Surely, people get turned off plan9 by having to find specific hardware just to try
it out!
