The one from Xerox Star has useless button. Arrows in AmigaOS can move the slider further.

Lisa has the best one in 1983. You can tell where you started from while dragging it.

XP's UI has always been satisfying to me. It's a nice change from seeing gray all the time.

It's simple and functional, and its still way faster than anything after it. Load it on your modern pc, and you'll see how way faster it is.
