Windows 95 on Sony PSP

Some mad person apparantly got Windows 95 running on a PSP. This is done using the bochs x86 emulator which emulates various CPU's. Using this method various other OSes could be run as well in theory. There are some "slight" problems: It runs extremely slow and the controls aren't too great either. The latter could possibly be fixed using a USB keyboard.
So basically it's just a demonstration of the possibilities, though if you feel like doing it yourself (or want to find out how slow it is) look here.

lol, yeah, i imagine it would be pretty useless to have just about *any* OS on the PSP... (save maybe linux)

it is fairly amusing, though...
