- Um... are you saying that Microsoft Windows 4.x (aka Windows95) is
- superior to NT? Pardon me while I have the decency to laugh in your
- face rather than behind your back.
-
- S> I don't see how anyone that is not on a network can buy NT... That is

- S> ANY PCs NOT ON A NETWORK!!!
-
- Chill for a moment.
-
- I have seen a number of non-network NT installs ranging from Intel-based
- laptops to high-end DEC Alphas, and it runs just fine on all of them,
- runs better than Windows 3 or 4 could ever dream of running.
-
- S> Almost no software runs on NT since it uses 32-bit code.
-
- Windows NT can run quite a bit of the existing Windows 3 16-bit code,
- though anything that relies on Windows 3-isms like VxD's, things that
- Microsoft has said not to do but never really enforced, will not work.
- Of course, anything like that probably has a 32-bit version of some sort
- for NT anyway, so why would you want to run the 16-bit code?
-
- S> Win 95 is very compatible with all programs since it is a 32-bit OS
- S> with 16-bit Code!! For any PC not on a network there is no
- S> competition between NT and 95!!! Windows 95 is the obvious choice...
-
- I suggest you take your foot out of your mouth, or shove it down further
- to deprive you of your ability to make a complete ass of yourself. Your
- ignorance is showing.
-
- Comparing Windows 4 with NT is like comparing apples and eggs. If you
- want to make comparisons, compare Windows 4 with Windows 3, and Windows
- NT with VMS.
