The forum post explains the process and problems of getting Windows 98 to run on the iPhone 6 Plus. As you may have guessed running EXE binary files is out of the question, but he was able to change and alter the input methods of Windows 98 to allow navigation of the operating system. He was also able to get the start menu working and could fire up Internet Explorer.
