Have you ever used Google Chrome? Don’t you love those tabs they have at the top?  Those things were revolutionary, and we believe in them.  That’s why we developed the FIRST, tab-based operating system, Windows TAB.  Forget about Windows 7, Vista, Snow Baboon, and all the rest!  Your savior is here, it’s clear, it’s specTABular.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Features:

-No more fixed menus (who liked them anyway?)

-No more closing programs, when you click the little ‘x’, it goes idle

-No more windows, things just float around

-No more pointless icons

-No more wireless functionality

-No more friggin Baboons

 

+Tabs! and lots of them!

+Floating menus

+Improved help functionality

+Clippy is back and revamped!

+An all-in-one settings button on the TAB bar

+Lightweight menu pop-ups

+Your favorite TAPS (instead of Apps)

+Free version of Vistallels!

 

System Requirements:

+8GB RAM

+Intel i5 or higher (2.63GHz preferred)

+Amazing graphics card

+Sound

+Water

+Some gasoline

+A map

+No common sense

 

Windows TAB:  Slightly different.  Basically the same.  Quite confusing.

An operating system that shocks you with wonder and awe every time you login? An operating system that protects you from all (51%) viruses? An operating system that allows you to calculate things easily? An operating system that can browse the web at 1.5x the speed of Windows 95? Well, it’s here, it’s clear, it’s Snow Baboon.

Snow Baboon

We know that Windows Vista received a lot of complaints, but we decided to build Snow Baboon upon it.  In fact, this is the world’s most advanced hybrid Operating System, with features from Windows 95 and Vista.  Don’t worry, we got you covered.

Snow Baboon comes pre-installed with some of the world’s most elaborate software, including:

  • Calculator
  • Notepad
  • Spreadsheet ’92
  • Typer ’94
  • Pinball (in 3D!)
  • and more!

Features:

  • Baboon Explorer Version 1.0 (don’t worry, we update it)
  • Apps! And lots of apps! (or, as we like to call them, ‘apes’)
  • Vintage Windows 95 desktop icons
  • Clippy, the paperclip helper (back by popular demand)
  • Google tab-like explorer
System Requirements:
  • Any computer made after the 1950s
  • Pentium 1
  • Patience (nothing is perfect)
  • A love of snow and baboons
  • A typewriter (keyboard works too)
  • A wired mouse (wireless capabilities not available)
  • Dial-up internet
Compatibility:
  • Windows Desert Ape or Rainforest Beetle
  • e-books
  • Notepad
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (we got it to install, but your computer will probably explode)
  • Tetris
  • Calculator (+, -, x, /, that’s it)
  • Pong

Desktop:
