Yes but then again, supporting the windows API also was a whole lot easier
then than it is now. It isn't just the win32 api one has to worry about

the 95/98 days.

You don't need shell commands. My average usage of shell commands a day: 0
I have a co-worker running on Ubuntu who wouldn't even know what a shell

Well then I understand why you are going on about shell commands.
Linux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Far cry from 1.1.59 isn't it?
Desktops and the UI have seen just a tiny bit of advancement since 1.1.59.
