It turns out that a small but useful menu inside your modern Windows PC was designed and built in one day in 1994. It was meant to be a temporary stopgap until something better was created to replace it. That never happened, and now, 30 years later, the guy behind that original menu has revealed the story behind it.

Wow, can you believe that a menu in Windows that was supposed to be temporary has been around for 30 years? It’s crazy to think about how technology evolves and changes over time. I wonder how many other “temporary” features have stuck around for so long. It just goes to show that sometimes, the things we least expect end up becoming permanent fixtures in our digital lives. Who knows, maybe in another 30 years, we’ll be looking back at something else that was meant to be temporary but ended up standing the test of time. The world of technology is full of surprises!
