Simone (syx) is an Italian software engineer with a showcase of websites that look like different kinds of desktops. They range from command line to Windows 95 to Ubuntu.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.
“All we ask is to be treated with dignity and respect.”

“Yes, and a new ico— NO!”
