Windows95 and 98 were the last versions I really felt I could hold pretty much all of it in my head. I didn't let WindowsME anywhere near my brain's abstraction layer of OS functionality.

ME is pretty much 98SE with an attempt at hiding DOS from the user. Internally it identifies itself as "MS-DOS 8.0". They are all based on a hypervisor (VMM) and were actually quite ahead of the time. The NT line, on the other hand, is considerably different and much more similar to "traditional" OSs.
