The first "onboarding" I can remember, from Microsoft Word 6.0 in (?) 1993. It would display a dialog when you opened the program. Every. Damn. Time. Displayed a useful tip from the included documentation. At the time, it felt like a huge, complicated, OLE application, a big departure from the previous version, Word 5.1. I suspected that some members of the Word 6 product team felt the same about that startup dialog: at a loss to suggest anything productive for that "Useful product tip for today", they wrote down some inane safety tips. "Welcome to Microsoft Word... You can hurt yourself if you run with scissors."
