Win 95 literally stole some of the NeXT look. They stole the grey raised borders and the close [X]. They turned the iconize button into a maximize button for some reason.

Grey raised borders definitely existed in Windows 3.1 GUI elements.

Both Windows 3.1 and Amiga OS (Workbench) 2.0 copied the look in 1990.
