Overview[]
The conversion is somewhat accurate on a superficial level, but as none of the programs actually function properly, including features such as the calculator and the volume slider. Due to this and the lack of much interactivity, this port can't be used as a learning tool for using the actual operating system. Making the true purpose of this port, unknown. Oddly, this port doesn't feature any sound. Due to the lack of keyboard support, none of the Family BASIC programs are included.

Trivia[]
- The fake BIOS screen at the start says that the system date in the setup utility is 08/18/2002, suggesting this had been developed on or after that date. In addition, the in-game calendar is shown to start on a Thursday, which August 2002 also started on in real life.
- The Sohu homepage featured in the game appears to resemble the homepage featured on the real site which is still available (Link)
- Some of the pictures in the shared folders are taken from Pokémon 4-in-1, Banana Prince, and Inventor's Cha Cha Amigo. Another one, appearing several times, depicts a boy sitting down with a sack.
- In the end of ROM, game graphics can be found, these look to resemble Nice Code Software's Boxworld and Solitare.[1]
- In Windows Update, the words on the bottom right corner are misspelled as "Winodows Update", and "Microsoft" is mispelled as "Micrsoft". There is also an inconsistency where Windows Update is truncated to "Win...s' Up..." if opened from Start menu, but truncated as "Windows U..." if Internet Explorer is loaded and the Sohu homepage hasn't yet loaded.
