Windows NT 4.0 has the look and feel of Windows 95; however, it is a completely different operating system. Windows NT contains advanced security features, advanced network support, full 32-bit operating system, advanced multitasking, user administration and much more. While NT is a very advanced operating system, it does lack the support of drivers, features, and gaming support when compared to Windows 95 / Windows 98 and is why, even today, Windows NT is still used primarily by businesses and technical users.
Windows NT 4.0 Features:
- Windows NT 4.0 has the user interface of Windows 95, including the Windows Shell, Windows Explorer (known as Windows NT Explorer), and the use of "My" nomenclature example: My Computer.
- It also includes most applications introduced with Windows 95. Internally, Windows NT 4.0 was known as the Shell Update Release.
- The server editions of Windows NT 4.0 include a built-in web server, Internet Information Services version 2.0. It also natively supported FrontPage Server Extensions.
- Windows NT 4.0 also included a new Windows Task Manager application. Previous versions of Windows NT included the Task List application, but it only shows applications currently in memory. To monitor how much CPU and memory resources are being used, users were forced to use Performance Monitor. The task manager offers a more convenient way of getting a snapshot of all the applications running on the system at any given time.
- Microsoft offered up to Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 for NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6.
Windows NT 4.0 Editions:
for Client:
- Windows NT 4.0 Workstation was designed for use as the general business desktop operating system.
- Windows NT 4.0 Server, released in 1996, was designed for small-scale business server systems.
- Windows NT 4.0 Server, Enterprise Edition, released in 1997, is the precursor to the Enterprise line of the Windows server family. Enterprise Server was designed for high-demand, high-traffic networks.
- Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, released in 1998, allows the users to log on remotely. The same functionality was called Terminal Services in Windows 2000 and later server releases, and also powers the Remote Desktop feature that first appeared in Windows XP.
