BOB was not that shitty at all. The issue about microsoft is the lack of accessibility of their software, since they are mostly closed source. There speaks nothin against a nice GUI, as it is not the only way to do things it is based on open standards and protocols so that one could use a cli or even develop another UI.

Well "BOB" as a GUI had some intersting approaches regarding accessiblility for unexpirienced, lowbrained or dumb users.
The only real problem of "BOB" is still percistent in modern microsoft and other proprietary products.
