I'm going to create a Windows 95-style desktop interface in a single HTML file.

Created `/workspace/index.html` — a self-contained Windows 95 desktop. No external resources; all icons are drawn on canvas at runtime. Features: - **Desktop** with teal background and selectable/double-clickable icons (My Computer, Recycle Bin, Notepad, Clock) - **Draggable windows** (drag titlebar) with **minimize / maximize / close** buttons, resizable via bottom-right corner, and z-order focus (active window highlighted, inactive titlebars greyed) - **Start button + Start menu** with the classic vertical "Windows 95" sidebar, program entries, and a working Shut Down that fades to the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen - **Taskbar** with per-window buttons that toggle minimize/restore, plus a **system tray clock** updating every second - Apps: Notepad (editable), My Computer, Recycle Bin, a live Clock window, Help and About dialogs Open it in any browser to use.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
