@dang Please consider this submission for the second-chance pool. This is a really nice interview with a lot of inside history (prototypes&#x2F;sketches) into a piece of computing UI that has becoming pretty much iconic.<p>Hi Daniel, thank you for sharing this great interview and an inside view to how the Windows desktop evolved over time.<p>Please also consider submitting your sketches and prototypes to an online archive such as archive.org it really would be a shame not to preserve this. They already have a large collection &#x27;The Internet Archive Software Collection&#x27; which contains quite a lot of historic windows content. Perhaps reach out to them directly and ask if there is a better way to archive these.
