The Backstory
Honestly? I was floored. I built this review because stumbling upon this 'VirtualXP' thing was like time-traveling back to dial-up and dial-up's very own dial tone. The creator's dedication to recreating the quirky charm of Windows XP—the sounds, the visuals, even that *specific* shade of blue—is utterly remarkable. My personal reaction? Pure, unadulterated glee. It's like stepping into a museum exhibit dedicated to the early 2000s, except you can actually click around.
