Windows 3.1 was so complicated that even a Boeing propulsion
scientist couldn't figure out how to open a word processor.
A behavioral
scientist, who once worked with BF Skinner at Harvard, was brought in
to Microsoft to figure out what was going wrong — and he came up with the Start button, for which he holds the patent today.
It's a weird and cool look at how simple ideas aren't obvious.
