Down voting :D Yay
I still stand by my list.
98SE is missing, but I don't really count a second edition of one operating system to be a new operating system, though that might also go for ME.
Windows 2000 and NT4 are not here, because they are enterprise software (anyone here tried playing games on Windows 2000, most of the games I tried in my childhood did not even install on 2000).
I have also left out Windows CE. Which is utter crap. HP even put a dedicated reset button on the front of their devices running CE 2.x because it was used so often. It became very popular though and is still used in many gps units. Mind you though, Windows Phone was based on CE until version 7. They were popular with the enterprise because of exchange sync and the general support in windows. Everyone else used blackberries and palms and now of course iphones and androids.
I have also left out Windows Server editions. Though these have mostly been rather good because you didn't need a college graduate to install and configure them, though many were just as slow and buggy as their client counterparts.
