This brings personal nostalgia to when I was very young and made an "OS" in PowerPoint using links between slides, animations, and the embedded internet explorer object. Similarly, I'm not sure I see any practical use in this. Still it's a really fascinating conceptual demonstration of networks understanding intent in the complex state-machine that is a graphical user interface.

I think this was a prototype for windows 8.
Haha I like this.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who did this, except for me, I used Microsoft Frontpage.
I did a similar thing when I was younger, except with Batch.
