Remember when Win95 could be crashed or even rooted just by pinging it the right way? We really have come a long way.

I also remember SMB vulnerabilities that stayed unpatched for years on some machines. That was already when Metasploit existed, so you could inject VNC into most Windows hosts on local network with just a few commands. These days at least the patching is super fast.
