A pair of hackers have released a new Windows operating system. And it's not Windows 10. Not even something close to Windows 8. They have unleashed Windows 93, a web-based operating system which might have gotten released back in the 90's if its developers were high on drugs. The project was the brainchild of hackers/artists Jankenpopp and Zombectro, which was started October of last year, with the full version released just a few days ago on Reddit. Taking the operating system for a spin, Windows 93 will greet you with the classic Windows desktop that looks a lot like Windows 95, containing different parodied icons. Internet Explorer for instance, is replaced by "Cat Explorer," which works like a charm (trying to visit Google or Bing will peculiarly redirect you to Ixquick and DuckDuckGo). It also contains a highly improved version of MS Paint, called Piskel. Other programs contained on the system are a Wolfenstein-like game called Castle GAFA 3D, a working Solitaire game dubbed as Solitude, a Gameboy Color emulator, and an ASCII-text version of the fourth installation of the Star Wars saga, among other weird programs installed. Clicking on "Totally not a virus. Trust me.. im a dolphin.” does something as well. Click on it at your own risk, if you trust dolphins. While Windows 93 isn't really meant to be your full-time operating system for a day-to-day use and was just released for fun, the project helps to relive the classic Windows days, which featured the basic looks of the popular operating system (and contained a working Start Menu too).

Good, now I needto science it again. Rolling Eyes

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
