The joy of Windows 93 is finding the hidden jokes and strange applications. Here are the things you must check out:
To understand the significance of Version 0, one must first look at the broader project. Windows 93 is a WebOS—a website built to replicate the user interface, desktop, and mechanics of a retro operating system.
