Found Footage: Windows 95, 3.1 running on jailbroken iPad

by Steven Sande Sep 16th 2010 at 3:30PM



If you can get past the sight of Windows 3.11 (gack...) and Windows 95 (hurl!) running on an iPad, then hit the play button in the YouTube embed above and be prepared to be visually and audibly assaulted (by no less than Metallica).

YouTube user MSComputerVideos provides a complete tutorial on how to make your iPad look like a relic from the 1990s by using a jailbroken iPad and the open-source Bochs emulator (frequently used for such efforts).

A rip of the 'Kill 'Em All' t-shirt to tipster MS.

WIndows 3.1 was the last good version of Windows. I can't say I ever had any problems at all, and I ran it for 10 years on my 386! Back then, "IBM compatibility" meant something.

Windows 95 is about the time Microsoft really became a monopoly and I started to resent them.

Windows 95 and 3.1 ah the thought made my eyes water...... at the hours no days spent trying to get the damn things to work properly!! no nostalgia here apart from some of the early pc games i used to play like Screamer.

Mind you back in the day I couldn't have afforded to buy a mac!!
