Windows Poop Edition 5

Yup, we're making another one. Arriving in 2023 actually, probably not at this point LOL.

Please note that as Windows Poop Edition 5 is in beta, the features described on this page are subject to change.

Try the Public Beta!

A much-needed user interface improvement

Windows Poop Edition 5 improves many aspects of the user interface compared to PE 4. For one, the windows are now actually overlayable, draggable, and resizable! (Took us long enough...) In addition, files can now be put on the desktop for easy access, and many parts of the filesystem UI have been made easier to deal with. No more painstakingly typing out entire file paths whenever you open files in programs!

Built directly off of Windows PE 4

This new version of Windows PE is built directly from its predecessor. And indeed we took inspiration from Microsoft to be as relentlessly obsessed with backwards compatibility as humanly possible, so in 20 years when Windows Poop Edition 27 is out, you'll still be able to run all those old ass programs from ye olde days of yore.

A functioning chat application?!

That's right, Windows PE 5 comes bundled with PEChat. No, it's not an exclusive chatroom for Physical Education teachers; it's an app that allows actual real-time communication with fellow Windows PE Users, via the magic of the Internet. Well, except when the servers are broken.

Visible Studio. For developers who like to suffer.

Do you like to write code? Well, prepare to never want to think about programming again! PE 5 includes Visible Studio, the new barely-usable development environment for Windows Poop Edition applications. We literally gave up on finishing it and left it in an unusably buggy state, so you're better off using Notepad to write your software. No seriously, I mean it!
