Reddit user 8bitsince86 has posted a video of an iPad Air 2 running Windows 98 and the classic game Fallout 2.

The feat is made possible thanks to a jailbroken iPad and DOSPAD (based on DOSBox) which was installed from the Cydia repo: http://cydia.litchie.com.

8bitsince86 has posted a zip file with his dospad configuration and a couple batch files made to load games within Windows. Before you can use those files you will need to follow instructions to install Windows.

Here's a tutorial for DOSBox (Android); however, the steps are similar for DOSPAD (iOS).

Still doesn't compare to ipad. You have your built in keyboard with a choice of 2 operating systems with mobile or web versions. No need to break the functionality of the start button.

Used both and I prefer the surface 3. There really is no comparison, the ipad is not all that productive in comparison but it's just a tablet.

Like you said the surface pro 3 kills my new iPad Air, it's like comparing a full on computer ( the Surface Pro 3, 500GB, USB 3 plugs and much much more, a personal computer all the way ) to a game Console ( My iPad Air, 128GB, and that about it! ). I really hope that Apple is working on the rumor iPad Pro because a PC in a Tablet is the future and Microsoft already got like 3 years head start so Apple start catching up please!!!
