    "Much of what Microsoft initiated with Windows 95 ... served primarily to differentiate it from Mac OS"[citation needed] Commented Apr 18, 2014 at 21:59
  • You cited differentiation but didn't explain from what. Please add the name of the Recycle bin on Mac OS at this time. Commented Apr 19, 2014 at 16:17

    I think that's true. Like Windows putting icons on the right instead of left. You want your windows on the right since you read right to left, so putting the icons on the left is natural. But it had to be different (for whatever reason), so they go on the right. Commented Apr 21, 2014 at 15:09
