I installed Windows 95 in a VM for fun and nostalgia recently and it struck me how consistent it was. Sure the colors and styles aged but wherever you were, buttons were buttons, settings boxes were setting boxes, windows were windows, task bar was a task bar, toolbars were toolbars … Frankly, I’d argue that changing most settings is easier in windows 95. It wasn’t perfect but it was a solid UX base with a lot of logical concepts to evolve from.

This ^. Its remarkable how well thought out and consistent the UI was. Been here since Win3.0 and the Win95/NT4/Win2k UI, more or less up to Windows 7 is really good even if certainly some things could be improved. Starting with 8 its just an utter mess old man yelling.
