"Windows" == Win95 -- which was a user Interface spec the kernel died

Today's Windows
CMU Mach --\ /

DEC VMS --/
When Cutler did Mica and then NT OS-2 he did not care what the user
interface was. Mica was a pure uk and NT OS-2 was also, but by the time of
the product it became a hybrid. Putting a different user interface, be it
DOS, OS/2, Unix, VMS or Windows was in the kernel design.
