The article praises the UI, but isn't Windows 2000 using the Windows 95/98 UI with a different kernel?

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

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.
