Right and Windows NT wasn't? Obviously it supported all of those things from the very beginning (possibly even in a superior way to Unix in some cases considering it's a significantly more modern OS)...
The fact that MS developed another OS called Windows (3.1 -> 95 -> 98) prior to that which was to some extent binary compatible with NT seems somewhat tangential. Otherwise the same arguments would surely apply to MacOS as well?

Does not seem like a good thing on its own to me. Just solidifies the fact the it's an inherently less modern OS than Windows(NT) (which still might have various design flaws obviously, that might be worth discussing, it just has nothing to do whatsoever with what you're claiming here...)
