Editing Windows 9x (section)

==In popular culture==
The sheer popularity of the Windows 9x series led to several [[web application|web-based projects]] being created in the 2010s that aimed to replicate the look and feel of Windows 9x (and indeed an actual operating system as a whole) on a single web browser while also invoking [[nostalgia]]. Many of these projects (including the ones listed below) are also featured on several websites focusing on older versions of Windows and [[Retrocomputing|vintage computing]].

Developed in 2014, Windows 93 (stylized as "WINDOWS93" in the title bar) is a web-based parody site created by two French musicians and programmers who go by the names of jankenpopp and Zombectro. Being a parody of the Windows 9x series, it is purposefully designed to look and feel like an actual operating system. It features several [[Web application|web applications]] which reference and features various [[Internet meme|internet memes]] from the late 1990s up to the early 2000s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.windows93.net/|title=WINDOWS93|access-date=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

In 2019, EmuOS was created, which is a web-based site designed to play retro games and applications within a web browser. It was created by Emupedia, a [[video game preservation]] and computer history community-based site. The site itself replicates the look and feel of Windows 9x as a whole to emulate an actual Windows operating system, featuring 3 themes based on all major Windows 9x releases starting from Windows 95 up to Windows Me. It also features the aforementioned Windows 93 parody site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://emupedia.net/beta/emuos/|title=EmuOS v1.0|access-date=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

Windows 98 has been recreated in web-based format under the name 98.js (also known as Windows 98 Online).
