It's possible! Just read this PDF (officially by Micro$oft):

windows ce along with linux and windows 95 have no place on the psp for 1 simple reason. There will never be a reasonable way to implement the keyboard. (baring a usb keyboard). DSLinux has a chance because of the touchscreen of the DS, but the psp's would need a completly icon based subOS, like a mythTV kind, but different programs. besides, a complete windows ce/95 install would waste load times and space, and reap no benifits over the homebrew software.

Hmmmm thats a considerable note. But why then would they try windows 95? I wonder if you can do the same thing with an official build of Windows Mobile?

well someone already posted running windows 95 with bochs x86 emulator, he also said it took him 10 mins to boot up. It seems like a waste, and without a keyboard, for the most part, it is.
