Salting makes rainbow tables pretty much useless, and salting has been a standard practise for a few decades now.
A few? I always had an easy time cracking my mom's desktop password with them so I guess Microsoft wasn't doing it with XP or Vista.
Just to give you some opposite example, WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Django are using salts almost 2 decades now.
You do realize XP and Vista are few decades old?
No I'm a few decades old.
