The whole NT line is crap.

Consumer Windows was just a GUI on top of DOS. NT-based Windows is objectively better than DOS-based Windows. Though both are still equivalent to a pair of brain cells fighting for third place.

NT cleaned up the 2 routes windows was taking and recombined them. If they hadn't then the consumer windows would have been a lot worse now than it already is. Dave's Garage/Dave's Attic, the guy who wrote task manager, explained how the consumer windows was worse than a hot mess until they were brought back into the corporate branch.

Windows ME is the ultimate argument that 9x was unsalvageable.
