I was thinking and I thought it would be cool if you could install windows xp or pocket pc on an ipod.  I looked through google and couldnt really find anything about my topic.  It sorta seems possible but not really.  Then again there wouldn't be a keyboard but you would use the jog wheel as the touch pad. confusing but would be awesome if it was possible.

Maybe windows 95 or something would work better

It all depends on the power of the components, for example i doubt an ipod could handle XP

ok so an earlier version

WTF? It could be possible, but.. how would you select your username/password to log into windows? And how would you enter the CDKEY?

Probably it's possible copying a whole W95 partition with the operating system into the IPod's partition... this is just theory...

Ask Shawnz, he managed to get Windows 95 on his PSP

No

It wouldn't be that simple, how would the ipod know how to boot it? how would the ipod know how to run the kernel, you'd need to get an emulator to allow the instructions that windows uses to be used on an ipod

Well, I don't know about Windows, but Linux is available for 1st, 2nd and 3rd iPod generations...
