@cstross I loved W95 when it first came out, but if anything it'd be better to run it as a sub-system of Linux rather than the other way round

It is interesting that this is on the flavour of Windows, DOS+Windows, that was not even designed to have subsystems and personalities. That was Windows NT.

Amusingly, the screenshot is not using the correct terminal type. Yes, there is in fact a terminfo entry that should be correct for this, that has been there for 30 years, waiting.
