> It is funny that MVC as a concept started as a backend server-rendered pages where the V was what rendered the HTML, C was the business logic which pulled data from the M which was the database + adapters.

I've got a CD from 1995 for Watcom C/C++. I purchased this compiler and IDE for a large (for me) sum of money and used it to create many Win32 applications.

I recall that that the help pages (which were extensive) came along with some non-reference documentation, which gave a quick overview of MVC for writing Win3.1 and Win95 applications, so MVC was already well-known in GUI systems even back then.
