Just do what video game companies do. They have an old game. It runs on old hardware. Some parts of the game feel very outdated in modern day. So they update the graphics, retool some outdated game mechanics, update it's availability to run modern hardware.
They take 20 year old games, update them, and then sell it back to you at full price as a remaster.
I guess what I'm saying is........forget trying NEW ideas. Just give us Windows XP 2.0 that works on modern hardware with ongoing security updates.
That's all anyone wants.
The thought of Microsoft remastering XP scares me, you and I both know they'd still be throwing Copilot into it.
