I switched directly from OS/2 to NT4 around that time... I did think
that Windows 2000 with LiteStep Shell (I think it was called that) was
pretty great. IIRC I went to XP with SP3, and used the MCE desktop
theme. Then Win7 on release, 8 SP2 with classic shell, and now Win10.
I've run Linux desktop environments for a couple months at a time every
few years.
What's funny is that you can now run a full x86 emulator and Windows 9x
in a browser.
