“ Windows XP moved to the NT kernel, whose primary difference was moving away from a monolithic kernel to a hybrid kernel. With MS-DOS, the kernel and operating system exists completely within the kernel space. Windows NT uses a safer structure, where the kernel is split between the kernel space and the user space.”

Yeah, that’s not what a hybrid kernel entails, and that is certainly not the primary difference between DOS and NT. I had to stop reading.
