There are people who do things for the simple pleasure of accomplishment, of overcoming challenges. Maybe that’s why developer Nick Lee CTO of design firm Tendigi installed Windows 95 in your Apple Watch.
Apart from the obvious limitation of the Watch's screen size, its computational power (with 520MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal flash storage) is about 20 times greater than that of a 386 PC at the time of the launch of the Microsoft operating system. , which is compensated by the fact that Windows 95 has to run via x86 emulation inside an app created with WatchKit. It only takes about an hour to start up! 😝
Despite the extraordinary feat, usability obviously lacks the difficulty of moving the mouse cursor on the screen and a delay immense for each to be performed. But I have no doubt that it was worth the fun.
But I really want to be able to play Wolf 3D on Watch.
