Windows 95 Seen Running on Cracked iPhone

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Filed under the “just because” file, some gents with the iSoft team have successfully installed Windows 95 onto an iPhone.

Their hack works by running a basic Windows 95 image and the Bochs emulator. However, there are some very noticeable performance issues in the use of the OS. Still though, what matters is that they got it running!

Now they’re working on Windows XP. But, until then you can see the Windows 95 powered iPhone in action here.

avatarWhy?

Why do people waste time and energy on stuff like this? Why don't they channel that energy into something original?
