I love traditional simplistic UIs like Win95 for their retro feel, and miss the days when you could skin apps. That ship probably sailed by now, but at least we get projects like this every once in a while.
But isn't Windows 95 not allowed to be used unless you purchase a license?

Legally Microsoft has the absolute right to stop people hosting Windows 95's files for download/re-distribution. I'm guessing they choose not to since it is not-for-profit, and the cost of going after violators will be more than they make from sales.
- paulie_a 8y agoFun fact, the CD keys used to be in the format of 123-1234567 The first three digits didn't matter, the second portion needed to be evenly divisible by 7. In highschool I worked the summer setting up computers and we would just make them up. After a couple summers and some technology upgrades I doubt there was a legitimate CD key in that school.
