A rookie UI designer reading stuff like these in the guide:
"The IUI model was developed during the creation of Microsoft Money 2000..."
"Although IUI was first used in the Web-style design of Money 2000..."
would most likely come away thinking that Microsoft 'invented' it.
IUI has long existed even before the first web browser saw the light of the
day. If you don't believe me I'm sure you'll believe Whitney Quesenbery :-)
Best,
