    For those who don’t know, Chicago was the code name for the 32-bit successor to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, eventually released as Windows 95. It was also a departure from Microsoft’s earlier desktop interface style, introducing the start button, task bar, and system tray.

      And the fact it was called Chicago had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that that Apple Mac system font was called Chicago, no sir, nuh-uh, total coinkidink.

        Coincidentally, one of the themes included by default with GTK2 was called Raleigh and bore striking resemblance to Windows theme :)
