What it recreates
WinXP in React recreates the Windows XP desktop, Start menu and classic small applications as an interactive web page.
What’s different
The desktop interface lives in a web page, so you can explore it without installing an older operating system.
What you can use today
An online demo is available without Windows XP installation files. It covers the recreated desktop and applications; it cannot run arbitrary XP software.
