I can tell this is fake from the fact the explorer context menu and the start menu open in under 2 seconds (on a top end Ryzen CPU, nonetheless).

It’s too snappy and responsive, real windows I gotta wait with the spinning blue ring thing for a few seconds after clicking ‘x’ on the notifications. That is when they’re generous enough to give an ‘x’ and not force the user through some onboarding flow with no easy way to opt out

I can feel my blood pressure raising. Very accurate to the Windows experience.

This is not realistic; the start menu opens way too quickly.

Win XP was peak computing for the masses, and most didn’t have a clue!

This is insanely good and mimics my personal experience of Windows these days. I literally say "pop-up! pop-up! pop-up!" out loud during a normal workday where one pop-up or prompt is rapidly replaced by another. Same app or different, doesn't matter, there's always something trying to grab attention on a Windows desktop unless you configure the hell out of it (and even that is no longer enough).

My favorite "joke" from this site:

> Scan complete: 1 threat found — ChromeSetup.exe

FWIW, I switched to Fedora in January and have no plans to look back. Only $dayjob relies on Windows anymore.

> Windows is activated with a digital license. The parody watermark will remain because it is part of the joke.

Thank you for a good laugh

My mother-in-law bought a new laptop last week and asked me to set it up for her, it came with Win11 by default. I was genuinely flabbergasted at how terrible of an experience it was, screen after screen of "We respect your privacy. Let Microsoft collect every single thing you have ever dared to breath onto this computer?" right in the install screen. After that lovely experience you're greeted with a billion random junkware preinstalled like fucking Candy Crush. I wanted to crash out when I clicked around in explorer and saw every UI element buffer for a split second, and after further research it seems they're using React in explorer these days.

What the hell happened?

Kinda hate the vibecoded sounds.

The "fix everything" button should link to a Linux installer.

Proving once again that Windows isn't ready for the desktop.

Stop giving Microsoft ideas!

so much rage seeing this

Back when Windows RG (2001) was considered a sharp mockery.

Start menu comes up too fast.

this is too much fun. nice one :)

Parodies are supposed to be fun!

That wasn't fun. At all.

screams into pillow

Please add deep linking or something so back doesn't mean starting from scratch

LOL. Well made, give me more than a few chuckles :)

"Windows is taking its time for your convenience"..

who else got rickrolled?

> Win 11 parody

I'm sorry but where is the parody?

- A Win11 Home user

Lol. Love it but for some reason my windows does not do any of that
