I know every Windows version from XP up has been built on NT. From Windows 1.0 to ME they relied on DOS and lacked true multitasking. NT always provided that capability, eventually leading to the versions we see today. Windows 9X ended with Windows ME. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT It indicates the current state matches the latest release, WIN11. The information says it supports the most recent update. Windows 9X ran from 1995 to 2000 with its final version being ME. Two logical cores won't match the performance of a single physical core. I recall reading about the Pentium 4 days when they said dual CPUs didn’t deliver much power compared to real dual Xeon units. They phased out SMT/HT because we had more than one actual core, making it unnecessary. It reappeared with higher-end processors like Bloomfield, Lynnfield, Nehalem, and beyond. With so many cores today, why would you need them unless you're doing heavy multitasking?
