I recall windows XP and 2000 as the best ones. Windows Vista was also terrible.

You wouldn't be able to do it with just one. A raw kernel that boots up to nothing couldn't do anywhere near the same level of damage nor cause the same amount of frustration. Trying to integrate enough into one monolithic program would cause it to fail cascade too soon I think.

In other words, no...it's several and has to be.

If you give a room full of monkeys with typewriters 150k random DLLs, could they produce Windows 12 by accident?

You decide.

Reminder
Too big & too old to be a trustful thing:

1- The complexity of a program increases until it exceeds the capabilities of the teams responsible for its maintenance. (done since the beginning, a common thing with stolen stuffs)

2- A bug free program is an obsolete one.

- Murphy's Law -
