Windows 5.1

Windows 5.1 (codenamed Windows Whistler Five during development) is a personal computer operating system, based on Windows XP and was supposed to be an improved version of the original Windows 5 from 1999.

History
In March 2000, Microsoft wanted to release another version of Windows 5 but, an improved version similar to Windows 98 SE but, this time Microsoft wanted to base it off of Windows Me. When they tried to do that, just a week later after Me's release in the Mid-2000 it was already hated due to unstable and way worst results than 98 SE. Microsoft themselves, wanted to improve the Windows 5's series by having a stable kernel as well in their planning book. They actually wanted all along to build on top of the Windows 2000's structure but, later on development for 5.1 was later cancelled and left completely. Microsoft, wasn't throwing Windows 5.1 and shipping it out as a business product anytime soon like Windows 2000 for professionals. So development for Windows 5.1 was later completely scrapped. Just, until XP was around the corner was where the idea for 5.1 came from.

Failure with the MS-DOS
Since, this version of Windows, kind of lasted for a bit it was and still majorly a flaw operating system known similar to Vista. This problem damaged the code in MS-DOS preventing users to play MS-DOS games and boot. Since then the problem hasn't been fixed until Service Pack 2, from 2006 mainly borrowing the features from Windows 6 and patching holes to prevent hackers from getting in.
