Ye, its interesting to know its possible to do. The N900 is incredible though, i love how it just completely takes advantage of its hardware, the apps are of excellent quality in Maemo and that extra 768mb app memory,its an absolute multitasking/web mobile machine lol, i wouldnt ruin that by putting W95 on it lol.

I have to say I'm much more interested in what Maemo can do on this hardware than Windows
I think good mobile devices, these days, are all about the fusion between good hardware *and* good software. You have to have both, it's nowhere near enough to just knock together nice hardware and talk about how many OSs it can run, or what kind of software it might run in the future, it's what the OS on that phone can do with that great hardware now that really matters. The best hardware in the world can be ruined by lousy or incomplete software, and vice versa - and in smartphones especially we've seen that play out way too often.

I agree that running win95 or osx is useless on a phone, but sometimes on my N900 I run the full debian OS to do specific things, like for example the desktop version of open office to edit document, and it's quit impressive and usable, and integrated in a window as if it was a maemo application. Debian runs at the same speed on my n900 as Ubuntu on my eeepc900, for comparison.
Of course it's better to have a stylus in this case

The iPhone's core OS is OS X! The GUI is not the same though...

Actually, I think you'll find it's called "iPhone OS"! Yes it is OS X based, but it's not the desktop Mac OS that the N900 supposedly runs, and neither should it be... I love Snow Leopard, I'm using it now, but I don't want it on my phone!

I'm a little late to get this phone,but I got it a few months ago.And it's very powerful.
Now I can brag about booting 2 or more OS'es on my phone
Android is cool on N900
Maemo is the best mobile OS for me (because of multitasking,and root acces)
