Yeah, It is the 64-bit versions of Windows that have no 16-bit  
capabilities.  I especially love it when you have a 32-bit  
application, but the installer for it is 16-bit, so you can't install  
the program on your machine.

Perhaps he's referencing some of the older emulators that rely on DOS  
or other low-level device access not available in newer versions of  
Windows.
