Windows 95 is an app now

Someone made Windows 95 into an app and I thought that some of you might get a kick out of it. For some this will be a trip down the memory lane. It’s a bit before my time though. My first OS was Win98.

Check it:

Hold on. Does this mean the copyright on Win 95 has expired? and now it’s FOSS?

Nope. It’s not foss.

I wonder if I can install the old MechWarrior games on it

Its cool but merely a Gimmick of sorts

I technically you could but setting up a VM with Win95 is the better way.

This reminded me of the Windows 93 project

I did that for lol’s a while back. It boots fast !! Try find a web browser that works online :slight_smile: All the pages are broken horribly.

If someone actually made a Win95 app that contains actual Win95, they can expect lawyers.

This is windows 95 in an electron app… :crazy_face:
There is no god.

It’s surreal how fast legacy software runs in comparison to todays iteration of the software.
Some of the old browser do work kinda but most sites just have too much stuff going on.
w3m & lynx are cli-browsers that they are so fucking fast. Pure html - no nonsense.

… I feel like we took a wrong turn in the website department of things in the last couple of years.

if we stripped out the tracking and ads most websites would be blazing fast.
