Windows 95 Running in Electron App with Apologetic README

Description

A screenshot of a GitHub repository README for a project called 'windows95'. The description reads: 'This is Windows 95, running in an Electron app. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.' Below that is a Downloads section showing Windows download options: 32-bit (Installer | Standalone Zip), 64-bit (Installer | Standalone Zip), and ARM64 (Installer | Standalone Zip), each with disc and package emojis. A partial line reads '? Don't know what kind of' before being cut off. The Windows logo appears next to the Windows label. The dark-themed GitHub interface shows README and License tabs at the top

64-bit version of Windows 95... for ARM... Seems legit! BTW, what about licensing?

That was very nostalgic! It contains my favorite pinball. I had forgotten that this was bundled with Windows at one point. Also, I set a high score! After 30 years, I still got it! 😄

  "3D Pinball: Space Cadet" is actually only the one that came bundled with windows. The full standalone version is called "Full Tilt Pinball". there's an open source revival: https://github.com/k4zmu2a/SpaceCadetPinball/
