Windows 95, 98, XP and Linux hacked to run on Android phones.

Are one of those guys who wants to fiddle with their phones. Well here is a new thing to try out. Install full Windows 95, 98, XP or full Linux OS on your Android phones.






XDA-Developers forum member mnomaanw shared a way to get Linux--along with various old versions of Windows--to run on Android smartphone. His method will let you run either Linux, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows XP on the HTC device, allowing for a bygone desktop experience on your smartphone. These are not mobile themes or ARM version of Windows CE made to look like 98 or XP. These are really the full versions of x86 Intel/AMD compatible Windows that you install on your PC.


To install Windows just download the few mentioned APK files. Get an ISO image on your SD card. Install and Run Bochs apk. 


Here are the controls :-

  • It emulate touchpad on touchscreen and left/right mouse buttons on volume 
  • You can also click touch screen to generate mouse left button click. 
  • Back = BackSpace, Menu = Enter, left-upper corner click generates TAB 
  • left-lower corner click popups keyboard

MHL to HDMI is tested and working. And your SD card will work as My Computer.



Most exe files are said to be working fine under this setup. But don't except to play 3D games or even latest version of Office without hangs and crashes.
Be careful while proceeding. The setup is tested on HTC Evo 3D, but others are testing it on tablets like Kindle Fire, Xoom Transformer Prime etc...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Beta Review and Download

                                                                                   Which browser do you use for daily surfing chances are you would say Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc… anything but Internet Explorer. However, Microsoft has just unleashed the beta version of IE9, which could make you change your mind about browsers. The first look I would say, It's very minimalist: the box is both the address bar and the search box. The default is of course Bing, but you can change that.
