GE-OS 98 — Continuation Edition
Somewhere in 1998, history split. On this branch, the system was never abandoned — it kept evolving, release after release, and it is still evolving today. This machine is not a museum piece and not a recording: it is a living operating system, and this page is its home.
INSTRUCTIONS: Press the POWER button on the monitor (bottom-right, sound ON) and wait for boot. Everything on the desktop works. Soon you will be able to log on and keep your own C:\ drive — and later, the system itself will help build its next release.

Everything on this desktop is real, working software: a window manager, a shared virtual C:\ drive (the MS-DOS Prompt and My Documents see the same files), a spreadsheet with its own formula engine, physics pinball, and a registry. No code is ever executed from user input — the shell, the calculator and the spreadsheet all run on hand-written parsers. All sounds are synthesized live with the Web Audio API. This is the foundation release; the changelog starts here.
