Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 launched 20 years ago this week
- greenyoda 10y agoI remember how happy I was when I first ditched Windows 3.1 and installed NT 3.51 on my PC at work in the early 1990s - finally, a version of Windows that didn't suffer a Blue Screen of Death whenever the C++ code I was working on crashed! (The NT installer was on several floppy disks, and I had to figure out which of its 10 CD-ROM drivers worked with my hardware based on trial and error.) "NT 4.0 also came in Server, Terminal Server and Embedded editions. In the time since its initial release, Windows NT morphed to become Windows Server." Also Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 - all these desktop operating systems were based on NT.
