IIRC, they did improve the situation somewhat around the time of Win
XP. They did it by brute force though, and just kept around a whole
batch of application-specific DLLs, rather than managing versions on a
system-wide basis like Linux or Unix does.

I feel there were a lot of mistakes made, perhaps from lack of knowledge
and experience, when DOS, Win 3.x and 9x, and then NT were
developed. They've dragged a lot of those problems along with them over
the years, like a stinky diaper they really should change.

Windows has probably been improved in a number of ways over the years,
but "improved" is still relative IMO.
