In what way do you think that's relevant? Large portions of that standard had already been abandoned in the Windows 95 era. Nowadays, approximately nobody uses Shift-Insert for Paste, and most laptop users wouldn't even know where to find an Insert key without hunting for it.
> The detailed CUA specification, published in December 1987, is 328 pages long. It has similarities to Apple Computer's detailed human interface guidelines (139 pages). The Apple HIG is a detailed book specifying how software for the 1984 Apple Macintosh computer should look and function. When it was first written, the Mac was new, and graphical user interface (GUI) software was a novelty, so Apple took great pains to ensure that programs would conform to a single shared look and feel.
Did not mention facts to counter you but to provide... facts.
Parent comment by mine by the way also did not claim anyone invented anything, but that Windows once HAD and FOLLOWED human interface guidelines that made the system optimized to be used by... humans. While now MS is fighting their human users.
But to give you feedback: Sometimes it is nice to sit on a shady park bench on a Sunday without an apple fan boy running by with a loudspeaker "AND DID YOU KNOW? JOBS INVENTED BENCHES!!!".
The HN story is about whether you can log in to Windows without a Microsoft account.
You then went on a rant about how the reason Windows stopped having standard menu structures is because the Windows UI team now only consists of Mac users.
Even though you don't need an Apple ID to log in to macOS, and those standard menu structures come from Apple in the first place.
Thanks for the feedback. Your communication style is schizophrenic and melodramatic and I still have no idea what you actually think.

I use shift insert to paste all the time.
Thanks, I couldn't have said it better myself:

Windows NT came out in 1993 by the way.
