Corbin Davenport, a 16 year old Web developer based out of Georgia, somehow managed to install and run both Windows 95 and Doom on a Samsung Gear Live smartwatch. He also posted clips on YouTube to show off both achievements.
 
In the Windows 95 video, the OS takes a while to boot (understandably, of course). Once in the desktop, the user is seen mousing around the Win 95 desktop using his finger. Of course, the touch experience is woefully inaccurate, with the Win 95 mouse pointer located on the opposite side of where Davenport’s finger is throughout the demo. Davenport used “aDosBox,” a DOS emulator which you can download from the Google Play store, to help him get the job done.
