Windows 3.0 is surprisingly colorful. Bill Gates tried his best to see what Apple was doing an think of something to combat that. Fortunately for him, Windows 3.0 was a success despite some bullpoop lawsuits that Microsoft was copying Apple.

Take code_from_previous_versions and make_it_worse
This was eventually fixed.
The term Desktop was still unknown to Third-Party developers, it was invented in 1998 with the release of Windows 98. So instead, Microsoft used programselection.
