Cozy, human scaled user interfaces.
This is Microsoft BOB
Here’s a good demo video without any talking or people mugging for the camera, just the interface: youtu.be/VrsIsf8PQJY
Microsoft Bob was a Microsoft software product intended to provide a more user-friendly interface for the Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems, supplanting the Windows Program Manager. The program was released on March 10, 1995, and discontinued in early 1996.
For reference, this is Microsoft Bob running inside a virtual machine. For an interactive online thingy (not the whole application), see
Here’s a Bob inspirited 3D online version: pangalactic.github.io/bob3js/
You can find more on YouTube or whatever. Here a link to virtualbox settings and downloads if you want to run it yourself.
BOB was an abomination. I hope they took it to hell.

As a UX designer, I, by no means, Miss Skimm as a design ideology. I was very glad to see it go.
