I don't care.  I've used Executor, and though I was impressed with its
performance, I found it to be nothing more than an amusing toy.

Does it support sound yet?  networking?  System 7?  the Finder?  QuickTime?

For what it's worth, the following is from the Executor FAQ list:

"For those interested in a workable programs for your 199m get Wayzata
Best of Macintosh Shareware for 19.95 from Tiger Software. It has 1500
programs all areas. I've tried about 500 and over 60% work on my
comp. It is a CD-ROM. Just make sure your CD-Rom drive letter is H or
lower for Executor to 'see' it.  Most of the programs I've tried are
1990 or earlier, even though I did get one which required Sys 7.0 to
work."

60% compatibility running programs written in 1990 or earlier?
That's useless.  Technically impressive, perhaps, but useless.
