This video is not intended as a tutorial just a documentation of my experiences in installing Windows95 on DOSBOX. It is possible, and has been for quite some time but compatibility is low. One is much better off installing it on a virtual machine like Virtual Box or VMWare Player.

Windows 3.1 is basically a Windowing environment that sits on top of Dos, so why can't Windows95 be emulated in the same way? Well until recently the hardware/software environment supplied by the Dosbox emulator just wasn't up to providing a Windows95 compatible environment but lately things have changed.
