I tried to access the linked website, but it didn't open.

Reminds me of what Fabrice bellard did a few years ago, Linux and windows in JavaScript. https://bellard.org/jslinux/

Or this https://github.com/copy/v86

Except jslinux running actual thing.

It's not a "recreation of Windows XP that runs in the browser" but more like "JavaScript application that looks like Windows XP", before anyone becomes disappointed.

Sadly, it doesn't even get the iconic three icons right in the application bars (https://i.imgur.com/agDlohB.png)

Clickbait marketing is infuriating.

Also such applications have existed for some time and is nothing novel, likely in the training data.

And internet explorer seems to work without breaking anything, contrary to the iconic windows xp experience.

Looks neat (and despite trying to simulate a WinXP-like UI it relies enough on the native web stuff that Firefox can translate the Chinese to English without breaking much) but some more information would be great: how was it made? E.g. was it just some one-shot "make me a website that looks and functions like WinXP?" or was there more to it?

The link at the bottom right does mention that it was "user edited" but that could be some generic message and clicking on the "Kimi Agent" seems to just put me in an empty chatbot.

Why create a website that looks like an operating system? A lot of people do it. Is it as a demo? There's some art projects that do it.

expected a wasm build of windows xp, instead I got powershell installed on windows xp.

minesweeper works seemingly until you find some number that don't sum up...

This isn't remotely what you think it is and it is just a Window XP lookalike.

Flagged.

That is Kimi team that developed it using Kimi K3. A Kimi engineer said he was surprised seeing everyone suddenly using Windows XP.
