Are the people behind this project the same as the Free95 team?




Isn't that the OS from the 1990's that never got anywhere, and then the same people made ReactOS?

Ah, no, that was FreeWin95. What on earth is Free95, it feels like history repeating itself…


One month ago their site went dark

They also forked Uinxed kernel so as to run their userland.

I believe they are the same. Still, it makes sense what they are trying to do.


To be honest, this seems like a project by some kid or something that has absolutely no idea what they're doing. It's a little painful to witness.

I agree. I wrote an article saying so about 9 months ago.

As a little Yule gift, one of the creators wrote me a hatemail at Xmas telling me he still remembered and it still burned and what a bad person I was.

Well, he got his own back. I was hurt, too. Perhaps he thinks that makes us even. Share the pain.
