Suddenly I remember circa ie4 or ie5 that had the "active desktop" feature that made even well spec'd machines grind.

Apparently the whole Windows UI mess is also related to Microsoft not able to hire new folks with Windows development experience, probably they only saw Win32 after joining Microsoft, funny how things come around.
