It'd probably run Windows 98(it would definitely run Window
95) OK, but nothing newer from Microsoft as far as I can tell. Memory
limitations within the confines of a P166MMX laptop of the day wouldn't
allow anything newer to run.
Oh, you can.
I not only got NT4 running on my Thinkpad 701C - the famed IBM
"Butterfly" - but even Windows 2000. That's on a 486 with 40MB of RAM.

Anything that installs from a directory named "I386" oughta work.
But there has been some discussion lately about some software not
supporting any chips that are so old and obsolete that they have
actually made it to market. :-)
Will 20G be enough to run current software, or will we need 15 000 MORE
floppy drives?
How long would the discrete laptop take to boot Windoze?
Will the lights dim in Vegas when it does?
