WINDOWS 93.NET

by Jakenpopp & Zombectro

Windows93.net is an imaginary operating system that runs on a web page.

At the beginning of the 90’s, Microsoft announced the launch of Windows 93, a revolutionary operating system. Even though this system was expected by millions of users, it never saw the light and was eventually replaced by Windows 95. Twenty years after the announcement, some French artists decided to correct what happened by creating their own version of this legendary system.
