Useless but awesome :biggrin:

I wonder if that will crash as much as 7.5 did when it ran on a Mac?

Macs of that era (and earlier) were what made me switch from Apple to Microsoft.

OS X 10.1 is what made me switch back to Apple (on my laptop at least).

It wasn't ported, it's running in an emulator.

What's the emulator? Surely nobody wrote one for the Apple Watch, but just ported an existing emulator.

It said in the article. Mini vMac.

There's been a port available for jailbroken iOS devices for a while. My assumption is that WatchOS is the same basic OS, so it probably wasn't painful to get running.

So you can run Mac apps on it? I'll bet the watch is 10x faster than my old 6500 I had back in the day.
