The first time I came across a launcher app was back in college when I owned a Microsoft Windows laptop, but really wanted a Mac instead. I remember scouring the internet trying to find ways to make my operating system experience less like Windows and more Apple. My search led me to a simple launcher app that acted as an iOS overlay to my Windows OS.
With this admission, I appreciate I’m probably offending both Microsoft and Apple users, with Bill Gates fans shouting, “MS Windows is far superior,” at their screens, and Steve Jobs fans wondering why on earth I didn’t just buy a Mac. But the reality was that I was short on cash, and I just wanted a quick fix while I saved up enough money to go the whole hog.
