Windows 95
This is Windows 95, running in an Electron app. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.

Does it really work?
Yes! Quite well, actually - on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Keep in mind that this is a website packaged into an application, thus it is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations.
Should this have been a native app?
Absolutely.
Does it run Doom (or another game)?
You'll likely be better off with an actual virtualization app, but yes, you can. Thanks to @DisplacedGamers. I can recommend that you switch to a resolution of 640x480 with 256 colors before starting DOS games, just like in the good ol' days.

Contributing
Before you can run this from source, you'll need the disk image. It's not part of the
repository, but you can grab it using the Show Disk Image button from the packaged
release, which does include the disk image. You can find that button in the
Modify C: Drive section.
Unpack the images folder into the src folder, creating this layout:
- /images/windows95.img
- /images/default-state.bin
- /assets/...
- /bios/...
- /docs/...
Once you've done so, run npm install and npm start to run your local build.
