Run Windows 95 get in Apple Watch

If you are one of those users who do not mind waiting an hour for the device to start and everything is ready for use, it seems that it is possible to enjoy the "benefits" to install and run Windows 95 on an Apple Watch . The developer Nick Lee posted a video on YouTube tonight in showing how it looks once the operating system is running. It's slow, to put it politely, but it certainly seems to be more functional than we would ever expect.


As Lee points out in a blog, specifications Apple Watch are much higher than those of a typical Windows 95 computer, so it makes sense that it should be able to run old operating system from Microsoft. Of course, there are a number of obstacles to get this is finally well, including the fact that Apple does not provide a way to install new operating systems on the clock, let alone applications that have not been reviewed and approved.

A functional experiment but somewhat slow

To get put running Windows 95, Lee had to modify the software development Apple "unorthodox ways" as he said in an interview with The Verge. That allowed him to turn convert Windows 95 in a kind of application for the Watch, which also emulates an environment for the operating system to run on it.

Lee also had to deal with the fact that Apple clock display is switched off when not in use. To address this, this developer tube a motor that spins the watch crown was created, which prevents this from going to sleep.

The result of this experiment is very slow, but impressively functional. Lee says that alters clock software to allow Windows 95 to track a single finger, allowing the mouse to move playing wherever you go.

For some reason, it seems that developers can not resist rescue games and classic applications and put them on platforms that were not intended. Windows 95 is a very good example of this, but as we have seen the implementation leaves much to be desired.
