I think Apple's contemporary OSes (System 7 and System 8) did a much better job, personally.

Windows 95 has the advantage that tons of people used it day-to-day, where Apple's systems were less popular. But as a person who used both, I definitely preferred Apple's design, and their dedication to designing everything about the experience.

Even the keyboard layout. Macintosh was the system that logically and sensibly separated the function of "Enter" from "Return". Two functions should have two keys, dammit. Every time I have to use shift-Enter to put a newline in a IM window instead of just hitting return, I die a little inside.
