I never expect you can install an old Microsoft OS onto the latest Apple tech today which is Apple Watch, and we all knows Apple Watch specifications is not that great compare to any other Apple products. But what makes this thing surprise is able to run a Windows OS.

Quote

With a 520 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, the Apple Watch packs a lot of computing horsepower into a very small package. On paper, its processor alone is about twenty-five times faster than the average 386, and 512 MB was the size of a hard drive in the mid nineties, not memory. As a result, I was feeling confident that the Apple Watch had the ability to run one of the most revered desktop operating systems Redmond has ever produced.

So does 95 represent the amount of boot time in minutes? The time it took him to click the start screen in seconds? What about the amount of people on the planet who could find a use case for this?

 

All this shows is just how good of an emulator QEMU is, it can literally be made to run anything on pretty much everything given enough tweaking and time.
