Well, that "thing" (at least I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about) used to represent 4 "windows". I think it started cause of the back-in-the-day windows (back in like 1.0-3.11) the video cards did like 16 colors or 256 colors. So they didn't put any pictures in it, and I think the colors represented the layout scheme (if you've ever seen windows 1.0 it looks like it was made by a hippie because of all the bright colors) and I think that translated into the logo. Then with the more modern windows they tried to make a more "modern" logo. But yea, that's my stab at guessing where that evolved from.
