Talking windows 98/XP on PDA!!!!!

Seeing as that even the weakest PDA (like mine) runs a 200Mhz processor and the RAM isnt half bad. Would it be possible to run a stripped down version of XP or '98 on a PDA. I got the idea when I came across a compact usb version of XP. that runs straight out the flashdrive. Handy for recovery,etc. How big a leap would it be to port it to a PDA?

Edit: It works via emulation (slowly),work under way on an embedded version,but to keep us occupied in the meanwhile there a '95 and a '98 roms you can run from the storage card. Check post 21 (or thereabout)for instructions and files.

Coming across some interesting devices out there, if anybody has any detailed info please let me know. Link is HERE

I'm afraid it would be very big leap, as PDA processor is not x86 compatible, someone has to port it or create an emulator for it. And then new driver will be needed for the touch screen.

That's kind of cool actually. You could run windows 3.1(1) on it.

Supposedly you can run Windows 95/98 on a pocket pc. I never really had a good reason to try it.
