Windows NT/2000/XP
Windows NT, 2000, and XP are Microsoft's most stable operating systems to date. The NT kernel resembles that of UNIX, but has the familiar Windows GUI on top. The Virtual Memory Manager and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) prevents buggy software from directly accessing hardware which often lead to crashes in DOS-based 95/98/ME. Windows 2000 added Plug 'N Play and USB hardware support to NT 4.0. Windows XP is more or less Windows 2000 at its core with a different user interface.
