    Is It Possible to Install android or windows mobile as an operating system? I think its a cool idea, and the laptop is too small for xp.

    Windows 95 + any key you find on the www = "activated" forever. Actually with windows 95 the key is just used to proceed with setup, that's the only time it's checked.

    howtogeek.com/howto/22665/run-android-on-your-netbook-or-desktop/

    links are near the bottom of that page for x86 android releases

    They seem to work, maybe not perfect :)wiggle:) , but they do....
