So the jailbreak for the new iPad got released several minutes ago, and I decided to run Windows 95 on it (in an emulator). It actually is pretty fast and booted in a matter of seconds. Here is some screenshots. I also plan to fix the screen resolution, test some beta builds, and try installing NT:

QVGA on 95? That's nothing. I got the Win8 CP to run on 320x200. Yeah, the pic is several weeks old. No, it wasn't usable. At all. But 320x* resolutions should be possible on most graphics devices, even if they're not available by default, you can enable them with external tools.
On Topic: Neat. Out of curiosity, do you know what kind of CPU does the emulator you're using emulate?

With a 19" monitor, I accidentally set the screen resolution to 320x200. For some reason, my cursor couldn't go to the bottom of the screen, Eventually, I restarted Windows in 640x480 mode.

If you install your own OS, then dosbox does only limited emulation of newer hardware but is very compatible with old. The inbuilt dos doesnt support share.exe
