Developer Gets Apple Watch to Run Windows 95 - Mac Rumors[^]

I will never forget the first time I saw Windows 95 which was when I was active duty on the USS Carl Vinson. The ship was running Windows 3.1 at the time and this new machine was setup and it was crazy cool but I think we did have to constantly reboot it until the patches caught up if I remember right.

I found the steps he took here[^]

Here’s an outline of the steps involved:
-Copy symbols and headers from Xcode’s iphoneOS and iphoneSimulator platforms to the watchOS and watchSimulator platforms, respectively.
-Build your “normal” UIKit-based iOS app inside a framework, rather than in your WatchKit extension.
-Use install_name_tool to point your WatchKit app’s _WatchKitStub/WK binary to your framework instead of SockPuppetGizmo. SockPuppetGizmo is the framework that (to my knowledge) runs WatchKit and interacts with normal WatchKit extensions that developers write.
-Jury-rig the iOS port of the Bochs x86 emulator into your framework. “Easy!” “How hard can it be?” read: Pretty hard. In my case, Xcode crashed whenever I tried to use lldb. Your mileage may vary.
-Copy a Windows 95 disk image in to your app’s bundle, write the config file, and boot ‘er up.
-*Optional: hot glue a motor to the watch’s crown to keep it from falling asleep.
Later, JoeSox

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
