Windows/95 did (and its direct successors, /98 and /ME).

Windows/NT didn't -- it's a completely different system, and its
chief architect was the same guy who had chief-architected VMS for
DEC.  In fact I find in it many of the things I disliked in VMS,
although at least it's simpler:-).  But, like VMS (and Unix of
all sorts, and the IBM OS's, ...), it IS a real operating system.

/2000 uses NT technology, too.  *In theory* the coming Windows/XP
is going to rely on /NT-/2000 technologies too, finally putting
to rest forever the last traces of the Quick & Dirty OS (QDOS),
which Gates bought & relabeled "DOS 1.0" in 1984 because he had
to have something to sell to IBM _fast_ and MS had zero skill
or experience in doing operating system software (QDOS, if I get
it right, was in turn basically a disassembly-hack a bit-reassembly
of CP/M to move it from 8080 to 8086 -- sorry, I just LOVE
rambling about such irrelevant stuff:-).

I love their approach to security, yes.  If I ever were
responsible for choosing or suggesting a top-security OS,
with security being the overriding concern, I don't think
I would look further than OpenBSD.
