* [[Kevin Lawton]] leaves [[MIT Lincoln Lab]] and starts the [[Bochs]] project. Bochs was initially coded for x86 architecture, capable of emulating BIOS, processor and other x86-compatible hardware, by simple algorithms, isolated from the rest of the environment, eventually incorporating the ability to run different processor algorithms under x86-architecture or the host, including bios and core processor (Itanium x64, x86_64, [[ARM architecture family|ARM]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], [[PowerPC]], etc.), and with the advantage that the application is multi platform ([[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]], [[Linux]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[MacOS|Mac]], [[Oracle Solaris|Solaris]]).<ref>{{cite web |last=Hess |first=Ken |date=August 25, 2011<!-- 15:24 GMT--> |title=Thinking inside and outside the Bochs with Kevin Lawton |url=http://www.zdnet.com/article/thinking-inside-and-outside-the-bochs-with-kevin-lawton/ |accessdate=December 3, 2015 |publisher=zdnet}}</ref>
