Windows 95 manages to run on a Gear Live smart watch

Technology has been progressing at a rapid rate that even our smart phones are becoming more powerful than desktops in the past. If you think you’ve seen it all, check out this Android Wear powered Gear Live smart watch, that manages to run on Windows 95.

Considering the Samsung Gear Live’s specs of having a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB RAM and 4GB of hard-disk, it has the means to run the 19 year old operating system. This is made possible using a aDosBox emulator for Android Wear that lets you run x86 OS on an ARM-based processor.

While it is possible to boot up, there are some compatibility issues where it keeps popping up error messages. Nevertheless, it is still an incredible feat being able to run a desktop operating system on a tiny 1.6″ watch. Watch the video after the break.
