Found footage: Windows 95 running on an iPad
Do you remember staring at your computer back in 1995 and wishing you could run your new copy of Windows 95 on a futuristic slate-like device with multitouch capabilities? No? Me neither.
That didn't stop the devs at KamaGames from figuring out how to run the OS on an iPad (they did it using a BOCHS emulator). So settle back, put your Alanis Morrisette CD on the stereo, and relive the glory days of the mid-Nineties in the video above!

Awww! we were hoping at the end to see the screen freeze up and maybe a "reboot" message.

April 12 2010 at 1:39 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyNot only that, but the onscreen keyboard doesn't do Ctrl-Alt-Delete -- how are you supposed to get by in Win 95 without that?
