Crusoe Compatibility
When designing the Crusoe processors, Transmeta paid special attention to full compatibility. This endeavor was in fact made much easier by the unique approach of delegating the responsibility for compatibility to the Code Morphing software.
All Crusoe processors are:
- Fully x86 compatible: they run x86 applications just like conventional x86 microprocessors.
- PC compatible: Crusoe processors already include portions of the traditional PC support chipset, and they run all popular PC operating systems.
- Internet compatible: Crusoe processors run the full wealth of Internet plugins written for the x86 - a world that is closed to most other low-power (non-x86-compatible) processors
