Could you tell us what it is then?
A Javascript/HTML/CSS/Canvas emulation of a Windows-style user interface looking halfway between Windows 3.0 and Windows 95. Including toys like Virtual Girl and viruses.
A weird Win95-style desktop with some interesting “programs”: https://i.imgur.com/7l8JhBL.png
If you are prepared for some surreal video watching experience with awful video and sound quality you can have a look at [1]. The talk begins about 75 minutes in and the thing boots about 87 minutes in. I warned you!

Why the startup tone is the same as the PS1 startup tone?
Because the PS1 was released just before Windows 95?? Maybe they decided to choose a popular start up tone from that time.
I thought you were kidding:
The PlayStation was launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, North America on September 9, 1995, Europe on September 29, 1995, and Oceania on November 15, 1995.
August 24, 1995 - Windows 95, Release date.

That was it's startup tone? Oh man, I thought it was being intentionally over the top as a joke.
Ah thanks. I couldn't remember where I heard it before.

From playing with it for a few minutes, I assume it's meant as a joke of what Windows 95 would have looked like if it had come out 2 years earlier (very buggy) and it's delivered with humour.

Also, it's an interactive 'os', with even a virtual machine (2 level deep max)

Wow I love this so much. The attention to detail is incredible. Unfortunately using hydra.exe forces me to have to refresh but I bet that's probably intended!
Reminds me of Windows RG http://www.cs.umd.edu/~meou/Flashes/WINRG/WINRG.html (not sure of original source).

Fwiw, Chicago (what became Windows 95) was originally planned to ship in 93. Yes, we were pretty bad at scheduling back then :)
It's better to delay release rather than ship a pre-mature product (cough,windows8,cough)
Nanoloop was a great bit of Nintendo gameboy homebrew. I spent many hours tinkering with it.

This could be a false positive, but thought I'd spread the word, I was wondering why it wasnt loading.. Will have a look at that JS and see if it's trying to leverage some browser exploits somehow.
