Good try, but if you're going to emphasize the exactness, I'm going to nitpick.
In the top picture ( https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F114af9f2-58a3-4051-96e8-84bcb83b34cf_800x600.png https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_p... ), the menu bar has too much vertical padding and lacks mnemonic (underlined) letters. The amount of padding on the desktop icon text also looks off. A good example is https://socket3.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/w95ptoys-1.png https://socket3.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/w95ptoys-1.png .
In the second picture ( https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5f5d1264-a888-4b57-b5cb-5ec9721a9cbb_800x600.png https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_p... ), Calculator just looks completely off. The Taskbar has too much space between the icon and window title. The tray icons should go in the same box as the clock, not outside. Good examples: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/27/fc/05/27fc05d3f826760c7fd00dc4334af1e6.png https://i.pinimg.com/originals/27/fc/05/27fc05d3f826760c7fd0... ; https://www.cultofmac.com/ezoimgfmt/cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/win95startmenu.png?ezimgfmt=ng:webp/ngcb21 https://www.cultofmac.com/ezoimgfmt/cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-con...
And this isn't even going as far as to nitpick the exact font-rendering algorithm down to the pixel.
