I would put it on my PDA anyday if it's proven by many to work properly.
XP will not run on an apple machine. It is proven that vista runs faster on apple machines and OSX runs better on a PC. If U like vista so much and Ur loaded, there's ur options.
I did compare 95, 98, and XP to WM 6.1 repeating what was said in the xda topic. And I still stand firm behind what I said...the whole point being that none of those OSs were designed for PDAs so there are no drivers for things like keyboards, touchsceens, etc. It would be pretty hard to get to work right.

My whole point is that doing this on a PDA phone is a very bad idea unless they figure out a way to get the phone functions, the Internet, Text Messaging, and other functions that are necessary for a PPC phone to work to be there on those OSs. They're designed for totally different platforms. I just don't want someone coming in here and thinking that they can put Windows 95, 98, or XP on their phone and replace their OS and expect their phone to work simply because some people over at xda got it to work somewhat on an old Dell PDA.

Sure you might be bored with your phone but if you're that bored with it then do ROM kitchen flashing of it. At least your phone functions would be intact.
