If I could, I would use NT 3.51 as my daily driver today. I know a lot of 32 bit software would still work on it well into the late 90s/early 2000s.

- EvanAnderson 3y agoThe pre-Windows 2000 NT OS's all suffer from needing too many reboots and the whole "re-apply the latest service pack after adding optional components" lunacy. I'm partial to the Windows 95-style interface so I jumped ship on NT 3.51 as soon as I could for NT 4.0. Jumping to Windows 2000 was, likewise, an easy decision if only for not having to reboot after making IP address changes, and having USB and plug 'n play support. Moving frm Windows 2000 to XP was less of a "no brainer". I continued to use Windows 2000 for quite awhile after XP came out. I skipped Vista entirely but Windows 7 was too nice not to jump on immediately. (It was the first MSFT OS I ran as a daily driver in beta, actually.)
