Developer creates standalone app to run Windows 95 on modern devices

A developer has created a standalone app that runs Windows 95 using Electron, allowing users to experience the old operating system without setting up a virtual machine. This app emulates Windows 95 through JavaScript and WebAssembly. The app, developed by Felix Rieseberg, includes key features from Windows 95, such as the Start menu, taskbar, and File Explorer. Users can download it for various platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux, with no additional setup required. While Windows 95 is outdated, the app offers a nostalgic look at early computing. Users can modify files and even play classic games like DOOM, providing a unique experience of the operating system's history.
