It's the same crap I posted about earlier today.
Windows 95 in an Electron app
Can't believe it made it to Verge.
And, answering to your question - yes, I believe you can.
It just might make Windows 10 usable!

A somewhat ironic thing is that some screenshots of it show an emulated Pentium Pro.. ^^

Making fun of Windows 10, how original.
Then again, people also make fun of my choice of Linux distribution, Kubuntu LTS.
Just tried the Linux version of it. Oh boy ....
Took 100% of BOTH CORES of a 1GHz box. Not even 2012 server running under VirtualBox does that (I have that running in a VM on the same machine).
Resolution is too high for this laptops monitor (1366x768, not sure what the VM is set for) but it is so damn slow I couldn't even get into the screen settings to change it before I lost the will to live. For those of you running at higher resolutions this is probably not going to be a problem.
Not a clean install, its been customised with personal wallpaper, a couple of programs fire up instantly and several non default icons on the desktop. If I want a VM from somewhere I personally prefer a clean unaltered install, not one that has been messed about with.
ALT-F4 kills the emulator (at least under Linux)! Tried to close the programs it fired up at startup, hit ALT-F4 and the damn emulator vanished.
If you really want a Windows 95 VM. Just save yourself a lot of hassle and create one yourself.

Because it's "Electron" which is overglorified JavaScript and people honestly willfully, blissfully ignorantly believe that's actually "computer programming".
I have the same 100% on all cores problem with Discord and no manner of complaining to the devs will ever produce a fix.

I only have a 85% cpu issue with Discord, because it’s doing the vp8 encoding and decoding entirely in software.
