30-Year-Old Windows Format Dialog Box Still Unchanged since Creation in Windows NT
- Microsoft developer created basic temporary UI for Format dialog box in Windows NT 30 years ago
- It was meant to be a placeholder until a better UI was designed, but that never happened
- The dialog box remains unchanged in Windows 11 today
- The 32GB limit on FAT volumes was an arbitrary choice by the developer that stuck
- Despite Windows UI updates over the years, Format dialog box hasn't been touched since its creation in Windows NT
