No there is no Windows emulator in OS4.

You can try DOSBox (http://os4depot.net/share/emulation/computer/dosbox.lha)which is MS-DOS emulator and try some Windows incarcinations. Reports say that Windows 3.x works on DOSBox, but I only saw screenshots, since I don't have any Windows install disks to try, neither a floppy drive.

Has anyone ported Bochs to OS4? Not that it'd run very quickly on the AmigaOne's CPU...

You do have pctask, which is capable of running win95... I dont know if it works under OS4 though.

The MorphOS port (of Bochs) was recently updated. I don't know its capabilities though.

@Piru

I'm not sure why, but something about that terrifies me.  I only made the move from Windows 98 >> Windows 2000 last year.  Win XP is the hell-beast incarnate IMHO.

Having said that, the thought of it trapped in a little Window on the Workbench IS quite appealing :-D

Windoze XP is the only version worth using. I "built" my own AMD fired machine with XP (with SP2 - this is very important!!) and now use this easily as much as my Amigas. It runs a very close 2nd to the Amigas.

@Piru

Did you install that on Bochs yourself, or are you using a pre-installed image?

I tried installing Win98 on Bochs onmy 700MHz G4, it took {bleep}ing years, and I gave up on it in the end.  If you did that by hand you must have the patience of a saint.
