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.
