No smartass replies I’m serious I need to know I’m doing a paper.
Edit: Here I am being a shithead trying to come up with the dumbest question possible and people are getting all informative on me.

Indeed. The home/consumer line of Windows (9x) hadn’t that requirement or even the capability of joining domains (thus only local accounts if at any). Windows NT started branching off 3.0 though, so quite early on with NT 3.1 which coincided with Windows 3.11 for workgroups.
NT was developed separately, it was just given the 3 version number to be sorta in sync with the workstation line (which sentiment went outta the window with 95, until NT became the main line).
It actually has more shared history with OS/2 that was developed by MS and IBM together. NT was originally intended as OS/2 version 3.
