So Piracy is a plus for PS4 but bad for PC??.

And i already am playing starcraft 2 on my windows 10 pc . But if you think that to be true that just cos the PS4 is X86 it could easy emulate windows your wrong it doesnt work like that. The Original Xbox couldnt even emulate windows 98 but yet it had the specs to run it..

No need to emulate anything if you can unlock the bootloader. You could just install Windows on it! Hackers would need to write some additional drivers though, I don't think Windows supports all the custom parts in the PS4. Most important part would be the graphics driver. The results wouldn't come near a PC with the same specs, but it would still be fun to try it out!

And yes, it was actually possible to install Windows 98 on an original Xbox! Even Windows XP! The installation was a pain in the ass though and no one cared to bring customized drivers for all the hardware in it. But theroetically, you can perfectly fine transform an x86 console into a full-fledged PC. The only point in it is the proof-of-concept though. Anyone who REALLY wants a true PC experience should just get a PC in the end.
