Windows 7 was arguably the last OS they ever made.

This line of thought goes all the way back to NT, and even then IBM would have some comments.

DOS was the last one they built, and they made a really decent GUI for it before they switched to NT.

everything after w2k is NT. by kernel version, its

  • NT4: 4.0
  • 2000: 5.0
  • XP: 5.1
  • Vista: 6.0
  • 7: 6.1
  • 8: 6.2
  • 8.1: 6.3
  • 10: 10.0

haven't checked 11 but i bet you they bumped the major again.

You skipped vista, XP, and 2000.
