NT does not have "major changes" from 95 et al. It was a ground up rewrite.

You could argue that the NT design is greatly influenced by VMS, which
Cutler directed, but I doubt that there is any code in it from VMS. What
programmer ever existed who did not think he could do it better given the
chance to do it again?

Name something that isn't.
