Point being, the wintrolls knew very little of the pedigree of Unix

Abso-bloody-lutely.
I've come to the conclusion that the person who asked you for the videos
was never interested in the aesthetics of the workstation desktops of
yore -- nor have they acknowledged those desktops' role in shaping the
look-and-feel of Windows 95.
They seem to be a Windows concern troll having a bit of fun with us...
Except the joke was on them. Now they seem to be trying desperately to
claim that the Windows desktop of the time looked much better than Unix,
hoping that if they shout it loud enough, that will somehow make it true.
What they forget is who was in charge of Microsoft at the time: Bill
Gates, whom Steve Jobs famously said had “no taste”.
Remember, the big advance in Windows 95 was in actually having a “Start”
menu for the first time.
