Windows 95 was the best mass market OS at that time. Yes OS2/Warp and NeXT existed, but they were not popular. The Mac and Amiga OSs were inferior at that point.
It had the best bones at that point, but it's UI/Fonts/Graphics were still subpar.
Windows 95? Had the best bones? The underlying system was just terrible, there's a reason why the line would be replaced by NT two releases later.
That doesn't come even remotely close to "blowing everything out the water".
