Question
What other OS's were made before Windows 95?

Have there been any other operating systems that were made with a GUI, during the time before Windows 95? Aside from earlier Windows systems, Linux and OS/2 Warp, were there any others? I once saw an ad in an old DOS magazine for some sort of OS that looked like Windows 3.1, but was simpler, and cheaper...though I've forgotten what it was called...

Desqview from Quarterdeck (QEMM) was a GUI multitasking eviorment. But just like Windows 1, 2/286, 386, 3.0, 3.1, WFW3.11, it ran on top of DOS so I don't know if it qualifies as an OS.
