That 2001 date was also the time they stopped supporting MSDOS 6 as
well as Win 2 & 3 which depended on it or lower versions. Win95 & 98
ran on MSDOS 7+.


95/98/98SE/ME were actual OSes. Win 1/2/3.x were applications running
on DOS.


Win9x used MSDOS as a boot loader (NT has its own) and had other
connections to it. Some DOS-loaded drivers could be used under 9x.
