If it includes the Windows 95 files then no it isn't.

So yeah don't expect to see it on there for much longer. I think what's most disappointing is all these websites giving this idiot so much traffic.

Agreed.

He repackaged Bochs together with Win95 installation and files and gives it for free? That took, what, an evening?

Yeah, not sure how this guy is going to avoid a lawsuit.

Check out DOSBox Distro:

a lightweight Linux distro (tinycore) which boots off a usb flash drive and goes straight to DOSBox.

With all of the coverage this has been getting, it would be surprising if it didn't result in a lawsuit, and deservedly so. The only exception would be if he obtained written permission from the right people/department(s) within Microsoft beforehand, which I highly doubt.
