Windows on your Nokia S60 phone!
A few years ago if you saw this on your screen, you’d laugh! You would probably be thinking, ‘How can you have Windows on a Nokia S60 phone, it’s impossible!’
well with the advancements in hardware and the software also, this seemingly impossible has become very much a reality. Yes you can now have windows (3.1 and 95 and even 98) on your S60 phone. And I am not talking of a wallpaper or an application. This is for real.
A friend and fellow blogger, Rita aka Dotsisx, who writes on Symbian-Guru, has just uploaded a video on Youtube showing her exploits as she runs Windows 95 and then Windows 3.1 on her black N82.
This just goes to show how far Nokia and S60 has come. True, the WinMo devices are leagues ahead of Nokia in terms of hardware primarily because WinMo is a heavy OS. But the fact that you can run just about anything on a S60 phone from Palm’s OS to Windows 95, just goes to show how strong the S60 product is. These exploits just go to show that in the future too, Nokia and S60 will be the preferred devices and OS for consumers which will offer solutions that are the best.
Without further ranting more about this unique achievement, let me take you to Rita’s video.
Another person going by the moniker “Javsmo” on Youtube has a video of Windows 98 on a Nokia N82. Here is the video,

why windows 95 instead of visata or atleast xp
It's really fantastic to know that windows are now being used on Mobiles, this truly is a new era of technology!

Useless, using a PC OS on a mobile is simply useless, whats the use of it if we can't use anything, even if you have windows 7 on it its still useless
This brand never stops giving us reasons to admire all their products.
