If Windows95 was ever conscious (shock!) it would be very sure it was in a virtual machine (i.e like simulated) if it existed at the time when VM’s existed. It would reason about Moores law/resources going up exponentially. and be convinced it was in a VM. However I am pretty sure it would be wrong most of the time? Most Win95 instances in history were not run in VM and we have stopped bothering now? An analogy sort of but gives an interesting result.

Maybe it’s even worse and we’re just ms dos. Nobody bothers to emulate us except for the fun games
