Perhaps not directly, although hardware and operating system emulators
will most likely exist... that is, as long as governments doesn't make
individually-owned mass storage devices illegal and attempt to force
us all to use "internet appliances" that share storage space on a
network of huge mainframes which won't allow the use of any
user-installed or user-written software (for the purpose of "homeland
security", or some related nonsense).
