Since XP / Vista, actually. Windows 8 is when they integrated Microsoft Security Essentials into Windows Defender as a full OS component.

Also on Win 10 Anniversary onwards they are pushing more sandboxing in form of device guard and secure kernel.

Basically as a evolution of MinWin, there is now a micro-kernel for security critical code sandboxed via HyperV.
