Since I've read Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines (there's a PDF download avaliable) I've found it to be admirably self-deprecating, humbly pointing out their own horrible UI practices long scolded by Joel Spolsky.

I'd like to know, however, what they had in mind while they made those mistakes. Is this (terrific) UX Guidelines document something new, or were there previous issues of such? If so, where can I find them? My prayers to Google yielded no leniency.

EDIT: The bounty will be awarded to anyone who finds an official (Microsoft) UX or UI guideline published before Windows XP.


Microsoft Windows User Experience: Official Guidelines For User Interface Developers And Designers

It looks like this book was originally published in September 1999 and covers Windows 98 and Windows 2000. The first revision was in 2002 and can be found here on Amazon. Of course, its not free, but it looks like it may be along the lines of what you are looking for.

Windows Interface Guidelines

It appears that Windows Interface Guidelines was the precursor to the book above and was originally published in 1995. Here is a PDF version of Windows Interface Guidelines

New Windows Interface

This book was published in 1994 and intended for Windows 95. Looks like you could get the book right now via Amazon for $1.50 new or for $0.15 used.


Here are two:
