They did it at a time when the convention of single click to select and 
double click to activate was a standard part of the Windows user 
interface.  I think they took that position that selection wasn't 
something that people wanted to do with hypertext links, i.e., I think 
they thought single click activation was the better solution, for the 
hypertext use case.
