    I’m not looking at it through a modern lense. It was very insecure at the time, too. I worked in a PC repair shop and at the time that business was a money printer in terms of getting rid of endless malware.

    XP was not the first consumer version based on NT.

    Although yes, the DOS versions were worse.

    They did, it was called “Windows 8” and nobody liked it.

    I would not consider Win8 a “refinement” of Win7 lol, they changed the entire UX.
