Windows 95 appears to boot inside VirtualBox, briefly showing a blank and loading screen before displaying a distorted Tux image and Linux kernel startup messages. The system eventually reaches a Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 login prompt, where the user logs in as “foone” and receives a shell. The joke is that Windows 95 has somehow loaded Linux through an absurd virtualization or security exploit, reversing the usual relationship between operating systems.
