So true with the latency. I set up an NT4 VM with word 97 a while back just for a nostalgia trip. Holy shit that is fast. How did they make windows 10 such a chunk of gammon in comparison. Literally no productivity difference has been gained between then and now, just some cheese moved. 21 years of nothing!

  You're thinking of the 9x kernel. NT was pretty good.

  I had an internal NT box up from 1998 to 2001 at the time. It was incredibly reliable.

I mean, of course it's going to be fast, you're running it on a modern computer. Try my Pentium with 16 MB RAM, that thing would churn forever.

  Windows NT "required" a minimum of 32 megabytes of memory back then. So that would definitely be a pretty bad experience According to Wikipedia, that could go as high as 128 megs for "heavy 3D applications" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_4.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_4.0
