What WinXP in React actually is

A careful reconstruction of the Windows XP desktop in the browser, from the Luna theme's rounded blue taskbar to the two-column Start menu. Notepad, Paint, Minesweeper and a stand-in Internet Explorer all open in draggable, resizable windows.

Why it is worth your time

Window shadows, the Start menu gradient and the log-off dialogue are pixel-accurate rather than merely approximate.
