Impressive but the Microsoft product is now underwhelming. So many people here spent years of their life doing things with the wonder for its time that was WfW 3.11.
Think how many man years were wasted trying to configure autoexec.bat and config.sys.
The first decent OS that I came across was SGI's IRIX. Unlike every other OS GUI you could focus on your work, in your applications, and not be concerned with the OS. There was nothing to battle against. Operating systems should be invisible and enable you to do more important things, not an end to themselves.
