Windows 5.1

Windows 5.1 (codenamed Windows Whistler Five during development) is a personal computer operating system, based on Windows XP and is an improved version of the original Windows 5 from 1999. In 2011, support ended for the platform.

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 canceled 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.

Failure with the MS-DOSSo 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.
Since this version of Windows kind of lasted for a bit it was and still, majorly a flawed operating system is 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 4, from 2007 mainly borrowing the features from Windows 6 and patching holes to prevent hackers from getting in.
