The UI uses the "hamburger" element. I was surprised by that.

Nice!

If you missed it, there was also a similar demo but with Windows 95 just a few days ago, http://win95.ajf.me/

And flat UI elements. And you interact with a single program that takes up most of the screen. The more things change...

Try launching a few programs (double-click the floppy disk after each one to open the MS-DOS Executive again) and then move them around.

It's a tiled window manager!

Sweet! I'm a bit sad that you don't get to launch Windows by typing 'win' and pressing enter.

It crashed or something. Glad it didn't take down my whole computer.

overlapping windows was actually a challenging problem within the constraints of the old hardware.
