Kimi K3 built a Windows XP in browser

It's not a "recreation of Windows XP that runs in the browser" but more like "JavaScript application that looks like Windows XP", before anyone becomes disappointed.

Sadly, it doesn't even get the iconic three icons right in the application bars (https://i.imgur.com/agDlohB.png)

Looks neat (and despite trying to simulate a WinXP-like UI it relies enough on the native web stuff that Firefox can translate the Chinese to English without breaking much) but some more information would be great: how was it made? E.g. was it just some one-shot "make me a website that looks and functions like WinXP?" or was there more to it?

The link at the bottom right does mention that it was "user edited" but that could be some generic message and clicking on the "Kimi Agent" seems to just put me in an empty chatbot.

Why create a website that looks like an operating system? A lot of people do it. Is it as a demo? There's some art projects that do it.
