The Mac > iPhone > Windows 95 Emulation Trifecta

Leave it to the Russians to come up with a way to emulate Windows 95 on the iPhone:

You got that right. A MacBook is emulating an iPhone (through the developer kit) which is in turn emulating windows 95. Though they do also demo Win95 running on actual iPhone hardware.

Useful? No.

Performance? As slow as molasses. Which, when you think about it, is pretty true to the real thing, actually.

Is it cool? Yeah, I’d say so.

Not that I would actually run Windows 95 on my iPhone. Or anything. Ever again. But it’s a hell of a way to illustrate how the Packard-Bell and Gateway Desktops of yesteryear pale to the power of the common cell phone today.
