G+_Patrick Bulteel Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That's interesting. Considering the SoC is an ARM processor and Windows 95 is meant for x86 processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Patrick Bulteel Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well, basically I am calling "BULLCR*P" He could just as easily display a youtube video of anything and say it's running on it.You can even make it look like you're installing it.

G+_David Pick Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Patrick Bulteel According to PC World. The watch takes 1 hour to boot before you can actually use it. So Windows 95 obviously doesn't run flawlessly. It just show their maybe uses for Gen 1 Apple watches once their obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Patrick Bulteel Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yes I checked what was done and he's emulating x86 which is very inefficient. If it takes 1 hour to boot, I'm not sure I'd wait that long. Patient man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
