Summary

A project called "Wikipedia File Explorer" recreates a Windows XP desktop environment in the browser, allowing users to browse Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons content presented as folder trees, with Earth displayed as a scrapbook. Created by Sami Smith, this nostalgic interface lets users explore Wikipedia's vast knowledge through the familiar lens of the classic Windows XP operating system.
