Remember CGA with a maximum resolution of 640×200 in two color mode or 320x200 at four color mode? It was also supported in Windows, and given that Windows also kept a separate copy of the menubar as part of every window's chrome, they could have really called it Microsoft Window. The need for a user interaction method that works at such a low resolution is the origin of Windows users expecting a UI that keeps every Window maximized.
