'But it wasn't windows, or they would have called it windows'
I meant the very idea of a graphical user interface to move files around using a mouse etc, not what it was called.
'And at the time microsoft were releasing their verson there weren't really many viable alternatives' - true but there were some but M$ stifled the competition by forcing pc manufacturers to install windows. Anyway this is one page with more details (again): www.spectacle.org/0901/maloney.html, I'm off to bed :)
