Designing Windows 95’s User Interface
Three years ago I came across an interesting paper written up by a Microsoft employee, Kent Sullivan, on the process and findings of designing the new user interface for Windows 95. The web page has since been taken down – one reason why I’m a bit of a digital hoarder.
- 'design' is a loose term for copying the mac interface.hotroddy
- This is solid gold. Thanks for the linkCalderone2000
- That grey colour used in the UI just makes me depressed looking at it. The bright dark blue does nothing to help.shapesalad
- ^ yup. it just looks sadGnash
- @hotroddy lol copying mac, do you know apple also copied someone else?fadein11
- Apple copied Xerox, Anyway I find bottom left start menu is better than top leftdrgs
- nice link - bookmarked. As for being a Mac copy - Windows95 was a revelation. EVERYONE got a computer when it came out. It was the iphone of OS'smonNom
- You have to remember too that Apple was still on System 7 (released 1991) and had basically stopped innovating. https://www.youtube.…monNom
- ^ that's not true. the software innovation lull is a more recent one, I thinkGnash
- ^ the fact that MS came in with win95 and ate their lunch, including taking a big portion of the education market, would point to a company resting on its lauremonNom
- Apple was way ahead of MS, but they didn't hold their lead.monNom
- did apple have laurels to rest on in 91? they were still struggling for marketshare back then, as far as I remember. I could be wrongGnash
- what's the benchmark for lead anyway? money?monospaced
- Lead in terms of sophistication of their OS, the Mac was way ahead of the PC in many ways up until win95.monNom
- haha, okaymonospaced

- Mini is owned by the Germans, is it not? Should really be the German tricolor.monNom
- why is it an arrow pointing in the opposite direction?sarahfailin
- Yeah, that wrong way pointing arrow is making my eye twitch.Akagiyama
- i don't blame the person who came up with it; I blame the ones in charge who approved it!Krassy
- As the only engineer here, you absolutely blame the idiot that drew it up in the first place. IMNSHO :-)theonlyengineerhere
- lol @ me seeing this post again and having the same question and then seeing that I already commented it last time.sarahfailin
