X5 and Win98

[mbl8jstn]

Would it be possable to put windows 98 on a Pocket PC? I read somewhere that there is a bootable version of win98 thats less than 100mb. I thought of this when I was reflashing my X5. seems possable with alot of work. Personally I think this the way to go, a full OS that wouldnt need some crap like activesync. The idea of a pocket pc is freat but microsoft wastes to much time and money.

If I was a betting man, I'd say that it isn't possible. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Xscale CPU RISC-based? Even if there was a way to emulate the x86 processing layer on the Axim, by that time I would imagine that it would be way too slow and buggy to boot the Win98 machine code.

Furthermore, the basic requirements of Win98 (VGA, keyboard, mouse) wouldn't really be met, so we're talking about even more hacking/emulation. At the end of the day, a desktop OS that has been maligned enough to run on an Axim (if possible) would probably really suck compared to WM2003.
