Bored of iOS8? There may be hope. A hacker has successfully installed Microsoft's Windows 98 on his iPhone 6 Plus, using a game emulator available in the App Store.

If you’re an iPhone owner already fed up of iOS 8, the most advanced version of Apple’s mobile operating system yet, there may now be an unlikely alternative.

According to a post on the popular tech forum bbs.feng.com, a pro-active member has successfully installed Windows 98 onto his brand new iPhone 6. The user states that the hack was acheived using iDOS, an emulator available on the App Store, and originally developed for playing classic DOS (Disk Operating System) games on iDevices.

Several blurry images on the forum appear to show the user's black iPhone 6 Plus running Windows 98, complete with the familar washed out turquoise desktop and classy grey window frames.

Although the nostalgic, grey tones of the 16-year-old operating system look as vibrant as ever on the iPhone 6 Plus' screen.
