Windows NT with the 95 interface has been in beta for a while now, and
will be relased in early '96.

And no, NT would never have been as compatible with existing DOS/Win16
apps, and wouldn't run them as well as 95 does simply due to it's
architecture.  It's too much of a jump, so Microsoft created 95.
