Easy. It's so simple it's unstable. It's a straight up tall order to boot up W95 on a new machine, it took me days and I rate a guru. But. Did you ever see it go? It's designed for 100 MHz, minimum of 16 MHz.

"Official system requirements were an Intel 80386 DX CPU of any speed, 4 MB of system RAM, and 120 MB of hard drive space".

Do you know how this runs on a 4 GHz? You can't see the menus pop. You click on Notepad and for a second there it seemed like it opened before you clicked it.

Oh, and, mine crashed 5 minutes in. It really is W95.

We could have W2K in theory, which is stable - but it starts to drag if under 128M RAM, which we don't really have. Also, needs some 300 MHz to run and that's a problem if emulated.

Besides, I like having ISA support. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside. ;)

Is wimdows 2000 dos based? I tried to find the answer lots of times but had no luck. I never got it booting on dosbox and gave up, and bochs is way too slow....

No its NT5, kernel and core are not dos compatible. it has virtual msdos within the loaded gui through command shell.

Oh okay, what was the guy above talking about then? Not dosbox I assume

Windows 95, 98 and ME are "home" OSs, are DOS-based (ME is a bit of a mashup) and load from DOS, run and can be returned to DOS on exit. They can be run on DOSBox in theory (apparently in practice, too).

Windows NT is the "pro" line of OSs. NT4, Windows 2000 (NT5), XP (NT 5.1), Vista (NT6) and 7 (should be 7, hence the name, but a marketing decision made it 6.1). These probably won't run under DOSBox.

The guy above (assuming that's me) said that we could have it, in theory (via -say- a VM or QEMU or something) but even if we could have a stable MS OS, it would drag its feet due to requirements. So, no.

hi Arctine
i confi. all step as per your instruction but when i open dosbox i got one errors
C:\>boot -i c

thanks on advanced..............................

same here :S
i gave my best but no use the image i have r not working on pc too or i am doing it wrong

Then perhaps you should read carefully.

That's boot -l c not boot -i c.

Try a copy-paste job if unsure, missing just the right space or the right letter could mean reflash.

ARGH!
Windows sucks!

Why'd you run M$ W$ on a phone which comes with a Debian-based distro by default??
You can install Easy Debian if you miss a desktop environment!

Wonder if we can run MapleStory on this...
... could this even get any more bizarre...
