It struck me as hilarious today that MS Windows, esp Explorer, is trying
to catch up to where Emacs was (mostly) 15 years ago.  However, back
then I also recall non-technical people using Emacs for its calendar,
mail and especially as a filesystem navigator / manager.  I've used it
mostly for editing, as a development environment, and version control so
the imitation by MS products wasn't obvious until just now.  This
discussion brought it forward.

Not really.  What is truly odd is that after all these years folks seem
not to learn and keep expecting Windows to magically start working as
advertised.  In most other contexts folks otherwise seem capable of
learning from their own mistakes, if not those of others, and carrying
forward a little brand recognition.
