You might remember our writing about Windows 95 running on the iPhone in July of last year. The iSoft team achieved this using the Bochs emulator and an original Windows 95 image.

Well it would seem the folks at iSoft have done it again. After receiving an email from someone named Pavel Egorkin, we did a little research and it turns out Pavel is part of the iSoft dev team. Pavel sent us the following video of Windows 95 running on an iPad.

Mr. Egorkin didn't provide us with any addition information, so we have no way of knowing if this was done using the same Bochs emulator but we'll update once he gets back to us.

    Nice but what's the use? It's so slow and not touch friendly. iPad is not designed to run on anything other than its own.

    while i generally don't agree with apple's marketing strategy and their draconian restrictions on their products...

    hmm... couldn't find any way of putting a positive light on the iPad.
