Although the Apple Vision Pro was announced at WWDC 2023 in June, it won’t be available for a while. But meanwhile, Apple has released the visionOS SDK so developers can test Apple Vision Pro apps before the product is released. And surprisingly, the UTM developers managed to run Windows XP to visionOS.Windows XP experience on Apple Vision Pro
According to a video on X (formerly Twitter), UTM developers were able to successfully boot the Windows XP virtual machine into visionOS. With UTM, a system emulator and virtual machine server for iOS and macOS based on QEMU, users can run Windows, Linux and even macOS on iPhone, iPad or Mac.
According to the developers, although Windows XP ran successfully on visionOS, it does not yet have input support, so there is no way to communicate with the virtual machine after boot. Of course, UTM developers will try to overcome this problem in the future. On the other hand, while Windows XP running on visionOS is impressive at first, this is hardly a surprise since the operating system is actually based on iPadOS. Still, it’s interesting to see an operating system like Windows XP come to life in a virtual environment. For those who don’t know, Apple Vision Pro is the company’s first mixed reality glasses. The price of the product, which will go on sale in the USA in early 2024, will start at $ 3,499.
