I actually thought that Windows 95, 98 and ME were only cosmetical changes to Windows 3.x -- When Windows 95 came out, I told myself "What? the same thing again? No way!" and switched to Linux. Windows NT 3.51 was actually really a step forward, and not too bad for its time, but sadly enough they changed some things, like putting the GFX-card drivers into Ring 0, actually a technical step back.

'95 had substantial changes over 3.x, actually: the entire API changed (Win32 was backported to 3.x, but that doesn't mean that 3.x was its native environment, and it never really worked properly there. Of course, it's debatable if it worked properly *anywhere*...)
