I do believe that Windows was a rip off of the Mac OS way back when then 386 first made it's appearance on the scene. I had an 8086 with Tandy's Deskmate software, when my buddy was using an Apple Macintosh (the original). The Mac is to PC's as Beta was to VHS. A much better technology, just poorly marketed.
For the record I am a PC user through and through.
Both Winblows and the MacOS were based on a little known Xerox os that Micro$haft bought out in the early eighties.

Another little known fact...NT was originally Microsoft OS/2 3.0; you can even get OS/2 errors from it.
