If the NT design were as obvious as you suppose, then POSIX systems would work that way too.

The "obviousness" about NT's design I was talking about, compared to the DOS-based Windows versions, were things like a trusted computing base, access control, kernel/user separation, memory protection, etc (stuff the DOS-based Windows versions had little to none of).

POSIX systems have that stuff, too.
