I'm confused, did they mimic the windows 95 feel with HTML / CSS? Or did they use WINE? Why did they want to make a serious application resemble Windows 95?

At this early hour, I miss high quality desktop apps with low-latency user interfaces. And high density. And a consistent look in all applications.

Forgot it is 4/1. Time for my annual day off of social media because of stupid things like this.
