It's one of the coolest webpage I've ever seen.

I'm really happy you made that video. Otherwise, I would have never known that webpage.

The interesting stuff that you can find on the internet. Very cool.

Clicking on "help" on some of the windows causes a fake bluescreen.

I was hoping they'd have a restart window for KDE 4 and BeOS/HaikuOS. Those have some interesting startup looks

[lemonadesnake]

This is really cool! It even shows a bsod when you click help

Windows XP even has the, always present, error sound. This page is awesome.

Please note on certain boxes, the mouse changes to the native system pointer, but not all though (Amiga is an example of one).

The dialogs with a timer on this page restarts the timers if they reach 0, not restarting the computer.

Press F11 for fullscreen, it -looks- feels better :D

Seems to be gone now. Tried visiting the site and Safari freaked out saying it was insecure. Made me click a bunch of links to open it, enter my password. Then the site is just a 404 screen now. Shame. I wanted to play around.

Bans mobile user. Must use legit desktop system. Laptop works too.

Interesting how they put an error sound when 'restarting' XP, but then didn't put a blue screen, nevermind an error sound, when restarting Windows ME... also that Windows ME restart process simulation could do with a lotta work.

It is now save to turn off your computer.

[TDGalea]

Do you ever stop and wonder...
"Why?"

[uranium]

This website doesn't work on an Android phone.

[twity]

They even respected the error sound right before Windows XP restarts! :3 <3

[ahniandfriends]

For some reason I am picturing this site appearing in one of Vsauce's "D.O.N.G" videos in the near future.

[martynas]

when i open the restart page again it is stuck at the loading screen

[firebucket]

Wonder if people use this site to mess with people

I don't think Windows 11 even has a prompt for a restart. You click restart, and it restarts, without checking if you actually meant to click restart.
