I remember it well, never used it but did use DESQview. I thought Microsoft put in a serious offer for QuarterDeck(?), but the owners declined. Probaly due to DESQview/X.
So that is when MS started on Windows 95. I thought not accepting the offer was a mistake, curious what would have happened if they did sell out.

I remember wanting to throw a monitor though a window for several years in the late 90s. I had access to OS/2 and Linux as well, but many apps ran only on Windows. (Assuming it used a lot less resources than NT, Win 2000 didn't arrive until 2000ish, XP 2001ish.)
