 Or mainframes and super-minis:

(Side note: my last employer was running OpenVMS in an emulator on a
Windows Server -- it replaced the VAXes that had been used for building the
OFP for a series of airliners; it was easier to validate that the emulated
VAX was producing the identical object code from the cross-compiler [yes,
VAX compiling for a 68040] then it would have been to validate a newer Ada
cross-development toolchain)
