R.O.B.: Bob was definitely one of the Microsoft products of all time May 16, 2023 15:17:45 GMT -8 *
ItsLezr: who was bob even for May 16, 2023 15:24:09 GMT -8
R.O.B.: Bob was an experiment from a time when the concept of a GUI was only just starting to become commonplace. There was some debate from this time period about the most efficient way of doing things, as the standards were still relatively new. May 16, 2023 19:12:10 GMT -8
R.O.B.: Some were questioning the efficiency of using windows (not the OS) as a metaphor for applications, and Bob was sort of an experimental alternative to the traditional window system. Needless to say, it was a failure. May 16, 2023 19:12:54 GMT -8
R.O.B.: This mindset of an alternative to the traditional window system didn't completely die off with Bob, however. The Office Assistant is, in many ways, a sort of spiritual successor to Bob. And the Activity Centers in Neptune can also be seen in the same vein. May 16, 2023 19:15:05 GMT -8
R.O.B.: However, despite all of the many experiments to deviate from the traditional window system, that's what ended up sticking. It wasn't until a new form of user input was introduced through tablets and smartphones that MS once again tried to deviate from this May 16, 2023 19:17:59 GMT -8
