You can now run Windows 95 through your web browser thanks to  Emscripten, DOSBox and Em-DOSBox programs, some time and of course a capable programmer.

The 20 year-old operating system was brought to life in browser-from by Andrea Faulds. How did she make it? well Faulds explains that she started by installing Windows 95 in DOSBox and then configured everything in Em-DOSBox.

The OS doesn't come without limitations though, it runs much slower than you would expect as it runs on an emulated CPU. The OS based browser also crashes from time to time or when you attempt to open certain programs like Internet Explorer. Apart from this there is no way for you to save you progress as everything is erased once you close the browser-based OS.

Faulds explains that the entire set-up lies on uncertainty grounds as no permission was taken from Microsoft before putting everything together.
