With over 40 years in the tech business, I can say with confidence
that this never actually existed.  The closest we ever came
to this was the "logical and coherent" world of IBM mainframes.

While Unix existed fairly early on, commercial adoption of
Microsoft operating systems took place years before Unix hit
the mainstream.

It is also worth nothing that Microsoft OSs are really two
things tightly bound together: The kernel and the UI.
The kernel is quite good  these days.  The UI is garbage.

Steve Cutler - the guy who designed the framework for the
modern kernel starting with NT - was a first class kernel
designed who gave us VMS on DEC machines.  If you want
to know why the kernel and UI are so tightly coupled,
read "Showstopper", his book on how NT was brought to
life.  It's a great read, however dated.

P.S. Apple also insists on gluing their UI to the kernel
but at least they don't change their UIs and workflows
every 10 minutes ...
