NT4 is NOT Win98
NT4 is what most Windows users consider the first usable and stable version of the NT kernel. That kernel is used for NT4, Win2000, and XP I believe. On the other hand, a different kernel is shared among Win95, Win98, and WinMe. 98 is essentially 95 with some GUI kludges. Win Me supposedly changed more, but I do not know what was changed from 98.
If you are forced to operate in the Windows world for anything, and want a version with any hint of stability, use one of the NT-based kernels. Off topic comment: one of my favorite acronym redundancies is on Windows boxes that read "with NT technology" - NT stands for New Technology. ---
NT4 is NOT Win98
Actually NT 4 was less stable than NT 3.51. The biggest reason for this was that the graphics subsystem (GDI) was not part of the kernel in 3.51 but was added to the kernel in 4.0 in order to speed up the graphics.
NT4 is NOT Win98
No, I think Win 2000 is WinNT 5, and XP is 5.1.
NT4 is NOT Win98
Actually, NT used to stand for the Intel NT processor for which it was originally going to be developed for. |
