Windows 98 VanillaJS Boot, React OS Implementation w/ Component Library

In plain words

Windows 98 VanillaJS Boot is a React-based operating system implementation built with vanilla JavaScript. It recreates the classic Windows 98 interface and experience through a component library, allowing users to interact with a nostalgic desktop environment in their browser. Designed for those interested in retro computing or web development experimentation, it demonstrates how modern web technologies can simulate legacy systems. The project combines frontend engineering with nostalgic design for educational or entertainment purposes.
