Windows 1.01 - now right in the browser

No, in this case, it’s not about the fact that Microsoft decided to release something special for nostalgic PC users who met with computers many years ago. Instead, Microsoft tried programmer Jeff Par, who introduced the Windows 1.01 browser emulator . Earlier, I wrote about a browser emulator of ancient games and software announced by the Internet Archive. Now it's up to the OS.

So, the emulator is written in JavaScript, and it completely recreates Windows 1.01, as if this OS was running on an IBM PC XT with a processor of 4.77 MHz, and a CGA monitor (probably, on Habré more than half of the users of such monitors and did not see :)).

The emulator is equipped with functional and soft buttons, including the combination of Ctrl + Alt + Del, Esc, F10 and others. If you wish, you can download a floppy image using a specific address.

There is also a file manager, MS-DOS Executive, which allows you to run the first versions of the calculator, and the ancient Paint, and much more.

It is worth noting that the OS itself was released in 1985, and the developers provided for Windows 1.01 their own versions of drivers for the devices most popular at that time.

PS In addition to the OS itself, you can evaluate the emulators of toys such as Donkey, Zork I.
