The analog that one of the interviewees stated was that SHARES is DOS and the old UA interface was Windows.

Is that a fair/accurate report and analogy? Forward to the past???
Pretty fair reporting. In terms of functionality they went from the equivalent of a Mac OSX or Windows 7 operating system to an Amiga, skipping all seven earlier versions of Windows as they went backwards.
