Well, DOS 4 did not have a multi million dollar advertising budget. Win95 is
about as "in-your-face" as any software product has been in recent memory -
there were even segments on the news about it, and the people buying it, using
it, throwing it away, raving about it, etc.
Win95 is a great improvement over Win3.1. It is still garbage, but it is a
lot closer to what it should be. Had they been able to make these kind of
interface changes over the fairly solid core of NT, and have it be compatible,
then it might well have moved out of the dreck category, but they could not,
at least not while missing the deadline by no more than a year and a half as
they did.
