What's that running on a Surface?

I got kinda excited, too, when I saw that.

Turns out the guy is running an unreleased version of Rhapsody.
This was the OS that Apple tried and failed with before
purchasing Next's OS (and Steve Jobs). It was designed to run on
Intel processors...

Sad to say, it doesn't look like something we can get our hands
on, and no idea if HC ran under Rhapsody....

But a Surface that ran HC? I'd spend money on that :-)

AND . . the big and burning question is, surely, can one run Hypercard on Rhapsody x86 running under VMware?

Well, you'd need an emulation of 68k or PowerPC CPUs plus Classic MacOS anyway to usefully run any stacks, just because so many of them rely on XCMDs.. So the solution already exists, just install SheepShaver. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a Windows version of that as well.

That's what I use to occasionally play with HyperCard on my Intel Mac.

For those of you who are daft enough to want to run Rhapsody it took me exactly 3 minutes to find a download of Rhapsody DR2 . . . PB . . . although, personally, I think I'll stick to UbuntuStudio and Mac OS 10.6., and run Hypercard on a 20 year old Mac laptop.

Yep, that's what I'm doing now... but wouldn't it be a lot of
steam-punk-esque fun to run old MacOS and HC on Microsoft's brand
new tablet?
