As I recall, when you executed Ventura (from a floppy, of course) it first brought up GEM.  That was the only time I ever saw it.  I used VP first in 1988 or 89, and then at a different job in 1991.  Before Windows 3.0 in 1990, according to Gemini. Must have been MSDOS...
 

GEM was DR's Graphics Environment Manager and was available for x86 and also ran on the Atari ST. It was a total dog, at least on the Atari. I had the misfortune to have to write software for it on the ST a long time back. I'm trying to suppress the nightmares returning.
