Virtual PC is most definitely an emulator. Classic is akin to WINE on

Emulation is taken to imply emulation of a different chip architecture,
whereas Classic is generally termed a "compatibility layer" or
something like that.
WINE is a re-implementation of the win32 API on another system, classic
is not that (Carbon is). Classic emulate the hardware in which a
complete Mac OS 8 or 9 run. (did I say emulate?)
Anyway, everyone know that classis does not emulate the cpu but it sure
does emulate other part of the hardware.
