The article praises the UI, but isn't Windows 2000 using the Windows 95/98 UI with a different kernel?
The different kernel for 95/98 was NT 4... Windows 2000 was unified, same UI for Consumer and Server
> I liked the UIs of the entire era from 3.0 to 2000, really. I'm mostly using Windows 2000 as an example here because it runs so well in QEMU/KVM and that allows me to easily take screenshots.
Hold on, don't give cred it to Windows 95. The beveled 3D look was the invention of NeXT. Windows 95 copied everything from them. https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/openstep42
