It’s the same codebase that was my point. Whether it’s still called Windows NT or whether that name died in the 90s can probably be argued either way.

- lizknope 2y agoI think XP is when the DOS based Win95/98/ME was merged with NT
- mewse-hn 2y agoThe Win95 line wasn't really merged, more discontinued. XP had improved DOS/legacy compatibility vs win2000 but not much.
- Dwedit 2y agoIt was never merged. The DOS-based Windows series was just replaced. Windows 2000 could have just as easily been the OS that replaced the DOS-based Windows series, it was user-friendly and functional enough.

- marshray 2y agoMuch of that pre-2000 code remains. But so much more has been added in the last 1/4 century that "the same codebase" is somewhat a matter of perspective.
