Here’s an Apple Watch Running a 20+ Year Old Version of Mac OS

When it comes to hacks , the question is most often “ can I or ca n’t I ” alternatively of “ why ? ” Because if you examine to see a practical reason for why someone would get the 24 - twelvemonth - sure-enough Mac OS 7.5.5 — akaSystem 7 — running on an Apple Watch , you ’re going to come up empty .

Using theMini vMac emulator , developer Nick Lee was capable to shoehorn Mac OS 7.5.5 onto his Apple Watch after upgrading it to watchOS 2 . Not surprisingly , the OS is n’t especially usable on the Apple Watch ’s midget screen door . Probably because its developers had no musical theme that one twenty-four hour period a digital crown would seek to stand in for a computer black eye . But it bring up up and loads the screen background , which is quite telling given the size of the Apple Watch versus the Power Macintosh 5500 scheme 7 would have expect 20 + age ago .
