I'd be curious to see a version prompted to recapitulate the style of a Windows 9x app.

Everyone these days seems to fondly recall win9x as the last era when there was an actual visual "system" that applications actually obeyed (...or rather, that every app was forced into obeying, since Windows just wasn't very extensible to performant custom third-party controls until DirectDraw came along. But I digress.) I wonder whether LLMs can build something that actually obeys those rules (i.e. composes everything out of a hierarchy of [simulacra of] first-party W95-era GDI controls — think "Minesweeper is a grid of buttons with icons on them", that kind of thing), rather than just vaguely looking like W95.
