The definition of Windows NTWindows NT is the industrial-strength variant of
MS-Windows. Current
revisions offer the look and feel of
Windows '95
and older revisions offer the look and feel of
Windows 3.1. It is the most
robust flavor of MS-Windows
and is fully multitasking.
It is also by far the most expensive flavor of MS-Windows and has far less
software available for it than Windows '95 or '98. In
particular, do not expect to play many games on a Windows
NT machine, and expect some difficulty in obtaining good
drivers. Windows NT will run on a
few different processor types,
including the x86, the
Alpha, and the
PowerPC. Plans are in place to
port Windows NT to the
Merced when it becomes available.
