This is a bit silly, but quite impressive. Someone's managed to cram Microsoft's Windows 95 onto an iPhone, and get it working via the touchscreen, going as far as to play a quick game of Minesweeper.
The performance isn't the snappiest, thanks to the emulator used - Bochs Emulator, if you're curious. The team tried Windows XP too, but didn't seem to have much luck.
If you could run any operating system from history on your handset, which would you pick and why? Answers in the comments.
The lengths people go to to get cut and paste on a iPhone.

Bet they can't put IBM's MVS on it. There used to be a saying in the IT industry in the 70's that an elephant was a mouse with an IBM operating system. I suppose that you could use the same story now with Vista.
