My first Windows box was 3.1 with the Program Manager. That was a little 
primitive. Windows 95 introduced the Start Menu and for better or worse 
became what I thought the desktop should look like. 

I forget all the managers I tried on Linux in the early days. mwm, tmw, 
FVWM, IceWM, Sawfish, etc but I preferred the ones that looked like 
Windows.
