- laumars 12y agoSorry, my question wasn't very clear. I get that the driver icon came from the Microsoft's example driver code. My question was why MS chose to use a toaster as their example. Of course, there is always the possibility that these things are chosen just out of pure chance / randomness. But often there's more history to the decision than that.
