Maybe Win 98 looks like Nextstep rather than the other way around.

  Win 95 literally stole some of the NeXT look. They stole the grey raised borders and the close [X]. They turned the iconize button into a maximize button for some reason.

    Grey raised borders definitely existed in Windows 3.1 GUI elements.

      ... which Microsoft copied from Motif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_(software) Both Windows 3.1 and Amiga OS (Workbench) 2.0 copied the look in 1990.

        Totally, everyone not relegated to the dustbins of history stole.

      Only on buttons until ctl3d.dll became commonplace.
