Windows was kinda a wreck till “windows NT” they brought in David Cutler who did Vax/VMS to help architect it. It was pretty amazing the transition from 95/95/me/vista to windowsNT/2000/XP. They put my old operating systems book appendixes online which have details about windows 2000 (Mach and bsd are the other os covered)

Check out appendix C for details on windows 2000 architecture or this which should link to the pdf.

Windows Vista is part of the Windows NT lineage, specifically NT 6.0.
