This is super cool, brought back the nostalgia of 90s. I would add "Blue Screen of Death" if anyone clicks multiple times.

Needs Minesweeper, solitaire, paint, and a recycle bin

This is surprisingly well executed The consistency of the Windows 95 UI is what sells it.

uhg, good job but i regret clicking it! It made my eye twitch slightly, reminding me of a software i occasionally have to deal with called OpenLM.. its truly truly the worst webexperience ever had. Have you ever wanted a windows ui... but for a browser based application? No? Me either, and yet here this thing is!

Its like they took a look at the windows 98 ui and decided thats how their app should be, exactly. It even has a start button, and everything opens as a "window" in the browser screen.

And even worse, i initially thought it was some theme someone applied, but no, it was literally intentionally designed like that, and theres no alternative theme or formatting

I really hope that if there are any problems with the site, a blue screen of death will appear.

Cool.A personal wish of mine is that Windows would bring back those nostalgic old click sounds.

It would be cool if you had a persistent MS Paint app that allowed visitors to draw on
