Windows 95 worked quite well on my 486, 20MB RAM, back in 1999. Once I tried linux and WinNT when I bought new machine, I said: "forget DOS". IMO old machines ( < Pentium II ) are good for routers and playing with building of clusters, but not for general use today, when average user wants to play his mp3z, web browser and some instant messenger (I remember P150 choked on Win95 with WinAmp+DOS Console+IE running).
I'm surprised that Intel still keeps 8086 core in the latest Pentium processor. Screw 8086 and DOS compatibility, it's an ancient history. If one really needs to run legacy applications, he can use an emulator: dosbox, bochs, qemu, and others.
But if you have something like Pentium II 400, 128MB RAM or similar, it's still good piece of hardware for Win98/2000+Office 97.
