By Windows I'm assuming that you mean MS Windows and
not creating some new name for GUI.

Wearable, just like PDAs, are not desktop and they
aren't going to to become popular until someone comes
up with a UI that fits Wearable hardware and uses. 
Wearable computers are not desktop and should not be
designed to be used while siting at desk, They should
be design to do something that Laptops, PDAs, and
Desktop computers don't 

Of course maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't Palm(OS)'s UI
that beat WinCE and it was Palm's Open Source that
made it the leader in the PDA market.  

P.S.  Acctuly you could make a comercaly succefull
wearable Not by making a good product but by making a
cheap one. eg. Makeing a $1000 Laptop that slips apart
into several ices that you wear around your belt and
selling it as a $50 wearable.   But it's extremely
doutfull that will happen and even if it does it's not
going to be a real wearable
