Functionality

The site includes a live chat program for users currently online.[2][3] A package manager allows one-click installation of programs, including the shareware version of Doom and a Half-Life demo.[2][1]

GIGAZINE described the project as created using browser technologies such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and WebAssembly, and noted that some applications are unimplemented.[4]

Reception

PC Gamer described Windows96.net as "surprisingly fleshed out" for a browser-based parody OS.[2] FAZ characterised it as a functional homage to early Windows releases and highlighted features such as a live chat and the ability to load games like Doom.[3]
