Had this NOKIA-9000 communicator laying on my shelf for a long time, and I’m still amazed how cool this device was back in the day.
Runs PC-GEOS! Which recently got open sourced, if you want to write software for it... https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos

Can anyone suggest any fun to mess around with software that I can find on archive.org? I'm looking for things from old businesses or just anything fun really.
luckily we have sources now ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ) so that makes it much more fun. it's kinda weird to read TODO from 199x :)
- Kali Linux

MS-DOS in Hyper-V
i was a bit joking with geos but of course, if you are curious - then try it. by now even the sources are available if you want to read some cute assembly or dive in prehistoric kernel ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ).

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Are you saying that the QNX kernel is not used on embedded devices? It doesn't use C++. (according to GitHub it is 1.8% C++ but I'm assuming that's vendored or demo stuff)

I don't have numbers, but the key ingredient is really minimizing context switches. This also results in priority inheritance while message passing which means that a high priority process gets the answer with it's own high priority, even if sending a message to a low priority process. Very smart.
Teading the old open sourced sources can be quite interesting...
