Wow, I completely disagree. I hated Windows for Workgroups - really all the Win 3.X versions. I was running Novell at the time and found Windows to be completely non-secure. I was OS/2 all the way at that time.

Windows 95 was a real operating system rather than just a shell. Windows NT 4.0 was vastly superior and I jumped on it as soon as it was released - I also switched my network to TCP/IP and Windows servers about that time. But 95 was a good client on the Novell LAN.
