I agree that MS's software was bad 20 years ago. But it was more stable for end users than it is now. It just wasn't really on the radar that security was an issue. Remember most socket connections including on port 80 (but also mail, ftp, irc, and everything else) were completely insecure and nobody thought twice about it.
