Launched in 2001, Windows XP is still considered by many to be one of the best things Microsoft ever made, and it was a real loss when it was officially discontinued in 2014. Now, one project by Reddit user ducbao414 (spotted by Windows Central) lets you relive the glory of Windows XP directly in a web browser.
It was released back on July 13th in celebration of 25 years since Windows XP first began development, with the goal of allowing others to enjoy the nostalgic XP moments of their childhoods.
To be clear, the project is not a full-blown running of Windows XP. Instead, it’s more of a web-based replica that merely recreates the classic XP interface. You can’t browse via Internet Explorer nor can you run any external apps, but you can run the included apps (e.g., Paint, Media Player Classic, Microsoft Word, Minesweeper).
Try it out yourself! It’s freely available at win32.run. Whether you miss the golden days of Windows XP or never got to experience it yourself, it’s a fun way to kill some time.
