Oh dear. I remember using Winders 3.0/3.1. They had this thing call "Pogrom Manager" (or something like that). In it, you could make a bunch of little boxes, each of which held several things you could click on and run. It was actually fairly useful, when you weren't just using winders to switch between mess-doss apps. (and frankly, Dr. Dos did a good enough job app switching if you weren't actually running any gooey apps)
Then, out came winders 95 with its fancy pants "start" menu, and some Rolling Stones song about making a grown man cry, or at least some part of that song. I didn't really like the start menu, too much chasing things down multiple levels of moving targets.
So now, start menu will die. Die, start menu, die. Only to be replaced with something that looks much like Pogrom Manager, only with more pixels and bits per pixel to dress it up nice. Just goes to show you the MicroSlop can admit a mistake, even if the mistake is old enough to get a driver's license.
