Bochs isn't an ordinary emulator, it's more of a box within the box kind of emulation (hence the name "bochs"). It's a tool for dual booting without having to actually reboot. Bochs is more suitable for developing your own bootstrap or that kind of thing rather than to be used as an emulator. You see, it's awfully slow since it emulates the entire hardware setup even if you're running it on the same hardware as the one you're emulating. Even PCTask would do a better job at running Windows and Windows applications than Bochs simply because it's a developer tool rather than a user application.
