Overall I like Windows NT 4.0 (workstation)... it had the original 95 interface (uncluttered, fast) but the OS was actually good (and, it was actually an OS!)
Got it running on my web server (Pentium MMX 200MHz), boots up lightling fast! Gotta love those old 16-colour icons ::D
I perfer Win2k, WinNT4 was missing lots of useful stuff and I like to beable to run Server software and video games on one OS instead of dual boothing.
You gotta admit though, sometimes NT OS can be bitches to work with. Specially when sometihng goes wrong - such as a BSOD once you turn on the PC and it automatically shuts down.
i have to say NT 5, i remember me using 98 all the time and thought it was the best, then i discovered 2000 (somewhere in my dads closet, he had a copy from his friend and never used it) i installed and fell in love no bsod or other gay shit
I must say, NT 5 is the one for me. I used to run NT 4 on my Pentium, but the version I had was loaded with bugs. I upgraded the memory and installed 2000, never been happer!!
By the way, just to clear something up.
NT 5.1 is XP,
is NT 5.2 Server 2003
and NT 6.0 Longhorn?

SO tough (You left out NT 5.1 and 5.2!)!
I'm on 2000 now and love it, but it;s bloated with IE!
I've never used NT 4.
NT 3.1 is great, but it has some problems.
NT 3.5x is really kewl, NewShell is kinda fun.
So, NT 5, but I jsut can't ignore the 3.xxs

yep, 2k is hard to beat, its the only windows i use on my windows boxes (well, i use nt 4 on my laptop)
plus, i <b>own</b> a <b>legal</b> copy of win2k pro!
the cd is gay though, the actuall disc, with that little guy and the sky and the windows flag. but the thing being a hollogram is cool though

I like the simpleness of NT4 and the fact that it works!
I like 2000 because of its advanced features and the fact that it's Microsoft's newest WORKING server OS.
I like XP because of its userability but I hate it right now, I keep getting the blue screen of death "Kernel Stack Inpage Error"
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
-Q
NT 3.51 is so classic and stable
NT4 is just GREAT
NT5 is just one of the greatest, close to XP
NT5.1 is REALLY nice, but Im not calling it the best.
I do like 2000 alot, but also Xp is alot good too. Id say those are the top best.
I haven't tortured it yet.. But will soon.
Classic - Windows NT 3.51 all the way.
Ahh a few bad times with NT. :mad:
-Q
PS. Yea, yea, 9x has it's share of problems.
And I did put 98SE on that box. Runs great.
The best Microsoft ever had.
I wish they had pushed this one on every desktop in '95; in stead of that dead-end bloat-ware and bsod.
