No John. The only mess here is you, acting as if you are a man, when
it is clear that it is only in the numerical case.

You're a goddamned self impotent idiot.

John,

It's not a Windows thing. In 64 bit ("long") mode, 16 bit instructions
don't work (either generate a fault or are mapped to other instructions).
32 bit is the new 16 bit (32 bit programs run in long mode for
compatability).

Anything that emulates (NOT virtualizes) 16 bit operation is an additional
program, like DOSBox or the Virtual Machine stuff.
