OK.  not "obsolete" but "discontinued"

95, 98, ME were windoze ~4 running as a task on DOS ~7

But NT, 2K, XP have MAJOR internal changes, and are based more on
Microsoft OS/2 (by Gordon Letwin), and code provided by Dave Cutler?
(presumably "stolen" from DEC)

Therefore, it COULD be argued that much (not all) of the internal
structures of 95/98/ME IS discontinued.
