Windows 3.1 included a red and yellow 'Hot Dog Stand' color scheme so garish it was long assumed to be a joke, so I tracked down Microsoft's original UI designer to get the true story

I loved Hot Dog Stand. It’s one of the reasons why Windows 3.1 is one of my favorite operating systems: I have so many fond memories of what it was like computing with it. I no longer have a Windows machine and I’m convinced that all software should be free/libre, but I’ll always have a soft spot for this OS.
