Users feeling a little nostalgic can now opt to run the classic Windows 95 operating system right at their internet browsers.

It's a bit strange to imagine that 20 years ago when Windows 95 was first released, it would require a state-of-the-art computer to run. Nowadays, smartphones and even a watch can run this legendary OS.

And now, even a sole web browser can run it. According to a report by PC World, the browser-based version of Windows 95 was created by Andrea Faulds, a computer programmer who used DOS emulator DOSBox to run a copy of Windows 95. She then compiled the DOSBox code into Javascript using the Emscripten program.

Tech Republic noted that the web browser version is available on Google Chrome, FireFox and even Internet Explorer. However, since the OS is not running on its native environment, users are warned to expect crashes and lags while using it.

Many users reported that using the Internet Explorer on the emulated OS will cause it to crash, as well as using simple tools and accessories. But good news though, the classic MS Paint is available to use with no problems whatsoever.

In addition, the operating system runs also slower than usual, due to the fact that it's just running on an emulated system and the way DOSBox runs inside the browser.

But for the sole purpose of just going down memory lane and playing some classic Solitaire, it is enough to make curious users and old school fanatics try Windows 95.

As for Faulds, she said that the reason she created the browser-based OS was for the simple reason of reliving her childhood.

She said that even though she's just 19 years old, Faulds basically grew up using the old operating system as her dad was too stubborn to upgrade to Windows XP.

"My dad stubbornly refused to upgrade to Windows XP for quite a long time, so the family computer kept running Windows 98SE," Faulds said.

Faulds described herself as an "occasional programmer" who maintains an active presence in the PHP community. Her new fans might be a bit surprised as her major, which is German and Language and Linguistics at the University of Aberdeen, far from her extra-curricular hobbies.

Since the Windows 95 operating system is copyrighted software, she pointed out that she only made the web browser-system for "education purposes" and she will take it down once she receives a "cease and desist" letter from Microsoft.
