And slightly on topic, here is Windows 95 on a 25Mhz 386 with 4 meg of RAM http://everything2.com/title/25+MHz+386+running+Windows+95

This is nothing unusual for W95.

Slightly closer to the original topic, here's Windows 95 running on a Nokia N900: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxMYuCHxBgE

Back in the time, there were even hacks to run Windows 95 in safe mode on 286 machines. 386 with 4 megs was the official minimal requirement.

What were the limitations and hacks involved in this? I mean, parts of W95 (certainly including explorer.exe) were 32-bit so either they had to be disabled/replaced or the kernel extended with an 80386 emulator.

IIRC it may involve using some parts from Win 3.11 running on MS-DOS 7.0 and other windows 95 parts.

I personally remember running Windows 95 on a 33MHz laptop, although it had a Math Co-processor to be fair. :P
