In essence, Win86Emu grabs the API calls made by the x86 app, converts them into the Windows RT equivalent, and then passes them along to the WinRT kernel. If you've used DOSBox, or some kind of game console emulator, Win86Emu is very similar: You run Win86Emu, select which x86 app you want to execute, and then - if everything goes to plan - your x86 app will appear. The tool, which seems to be called Win86Emu, is essentially an x86 emulator or software abstraction layer for Windows RT. x86 games such as Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (video below) and small utilities such as WinRAR are confirmed to work on Windows RT, with the developer promising to support uTorrent and some other games in the future.
It was only a matter of time: You can now run conventional x86 Desktop apps on your ARM-based Windows RT tablet, such as the Surface RT or Asus VivoTab RT.
