    Running Windows 95 in an “app” is a dumb stunt that makes a good point
    Software piracy remains an important part of preserving our digital heritage.

    I was thinking the same as author quoted by mood. On the one hand this is piracy. On the other hand a lot of people legally bought Win 95 license and other software for Win 95 back in 90s. They have a right to use it, but their hardware may have been damaged and they don't have a way to use this software legally.

    BTW What software do you recommend for Windows 95? What address book, personal information manager, productivity software did you used back then?
