What is RBOWS 1?

RBOWS 1 is a fully functional Windows 10 desktop environment that runs in the browser. It's not a mockup — everything works. Open apps, manage files, use the terminal, browse the web, change settings. It's the operating system layer of the RQBBOX OS ecosystem.

No frameworks. No dependencies. No server. Just open index.html and you have a desktop.
