I agree - I remember NeXTstep, circa 93-94 and it was light-years ahead of 
anything Windows did.  Windows 95 was much more like OS/2. on Windows 3.1, I 
had a neat Program Manager replacement that looked like OS/2 (which is what 
I was using at work, at the time).  Of course, it _wasn't_ OS/2, but as a UI 
it was way better than Windows 3, and it was similar enough that I was 
comfortable switching between my OS/2 desktop at work and my Win3 one at 
home.
