Wow, this is extremely cool.

You created a VM in Excel and a VM that runs Excel in an FPGA, proving equivalence of Excel and an FPGA :-P

Try implementing a simple FPGA in Excel. 4-input look-up-table: MID(lutcell,bin2dec(concat(inputcells),1) and hten the input cells can be done with OFFSET to support programmable routing. You can set the values by hand at first, but then connect it to your VM to load in bitstreams :)
