Are you sure that Windows 95 was the first OS that had contextual
menus? Because I think that while Win95 had them before MacOS, it
didn't pioneer them. When we talk about Microsoft stealing things from
the Mac, we are talking about things Apple pioneered: not the windows
and the mouse, but the desktop, the trash can, the Apple menu etc.
