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. By 2007 the operating system's market share had reached a fall of 3.9% users still using the operating system compared to 2001-2006 with about 94% to 64%.

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.

2007 disaster patch
Since, then during it's development the Pre-Hybrid kernel had a flaw it was patched. But, another flaw was discovered by an intern employee at Microsoft around late 2006. This flaw was not fixable similar to the older bug which was just how the desktop glitches out every 3 seconds. This flaw actually messed up the date and preventing it from going any further than December 31, 2006 which means if passed that date the operating system will just boot loop and, if unlucky you'll get a black screen of death which is very rare happening on this operating system resulting 3.1 Million computers on the network with this operating system to have it unpatched and unsafe security hacks happening. So, on March 17, 2006 Microsoft responded with a patch which is Service Pack 2 it included extending the system date to March 19, 2007. More security was put in place for this operating system with the patch itself.
