From the book "Personal Computers in Engineering Practice", M. Radio and Communication, 1989.

One example of a massive and, in the opinion of the authors, useless add-on is the integrated Windows system of Microsoft. This system takes up almost 1 MB of disk memory and is designed for preferential use in conjunction with a mouse type device.
Thus, the reader has already understood that among the add-ons above the DOS there are quite useless systems that only look beautiful, but actually take away the user's time, memory on disks and operating memory of the computer. The deceptive beauty of such systems, however, has a strong impact on inexperienced users who have not had the practice of working on the machine. The inertia of thinking is so strong that the authors have had to observe how people who started working with such a superstructure, subsequently struggle to force themselves to study the DOS commands. I would like to warn the readers of this mistake.
