Here are the equations for the genesis of Windows 95:
Windows 95 = Windows 3.1
+ Hewlett-Packard NewWave
+ Morphing Multi-Media ( MMM )
+ World Wide Web ( WWW );
Windows 3.1 = Apple MacIntosh
+ Larger Screens
+ Millions of Colors;
Apple MacIntosh = Hewlett-Packard
+ Palo Alto
+ Laws of Form;
Hewlett-Packard = SPL
+ Hardware Instruments
+ Garage Electronics
SPL = ALGOL from Burroughs ( UniSys );
+ Burroughs Business Banking
+ ALGOL-60, a formal document.

"An Exchange of Arithmetic Expressions between two Objects",
The Form and Substance of Windows 95 conforms to the Formal Form for the conceptual Substance of Arithmetic Expressions as formulated in ALGOL-60. Gates tried to break the Formal Form with his atrocious implementation of OLE, but the Form prevailed via HP's NewWave.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Response: Fascinating! Having developed a WorkFlow system for the NewWave Desktop, complete with embedded Agent Scripts that would determine the behavior of the software applications that constituted the Work for a node on the network. I've wondered how far NewWave actually penetrated the market before HP pulled the plug and OLE took root.
>so I guess it isn't a completely good comparison! ;-)
Response: Ah, hmmmmm true enough, but Objects is Objects. The real question is how the "methods" of an object are expressed, and the form of that expression. The substance of any method is the specific analytical algorithm that implements the substantive function of the method. OLE verses OMF is a classic example of the top-down verses botton-up software methodologies - adding functional source code as cases in a 'switch' statement of a program module with global memory, verses instantiating skelton procedures which access formal parameters and a limited number of global references. Less elegance but more control.
