If you didn’t survive the jump, it can be hard to describe the cultural
revolution between Windows 3.1 & Windows 95. Its taskbar is assured
in an era of “multitasking”; It has a built-in web browser that allows
you to access all of the information on the internet; its “Start” menu,
complete with its own ~$10 million The Rolling Stones’ song was pure
optimism spliced together.

But what if Microsoft released an os in the chasm between Windows 3.1
& Windows 95? It might look something like Windows 93, Jankenpopp
and Zombectro have created an interactive art project that you can try
right in your browser.

The OS experience is difficult to describe in words, it’s Windows
imagined in some parallel universe, with plenty of retro homages to the
weird OS quirks of yore.

The hard drive defragger comes with a funky MIDI beat so head-bobbing
enticing that you’ll wonder why it wasn’t implemented in the first
place. A horribly sad “Virtual Girl” can sit on your desktop, which some
may be familiar with, though instead of flirting or stripping via 16-bit
animation, this one lays there as lifeless as a paper doll. You can
watch a Star Wars video right on your computer. (the catch: it’s
rendered in ASCII). Then there’s the “It’s not a virus”.

Trust me. I’m a dolphin” icon that’s almost a must-click, harkening
back to the good old days when viruses were just as much about
entertainment as they were about data theft. For the record, that virus
is nothing compared to the army of Clippys that will appear out of
nowhere.

It’s amazing how far you can go with Windows 93, thanks to content like
GameBoy emulators and pixel editors that have actually been pulled from
various sources across the web. I had been giggling nostalgically for an
embarrassing amount of time when all of a sudden, a beach ball of death
showed up on my screen. At first, I assumed it was just another one of
Windows 93’s jokes until Chrome froze and then crashed a few moments
later.
