Windows NT Workstation 3.51 Reviewer's Guide

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation is the most powerful desktop operating system for today's most demanding business needs. Run your 16-bit applications with full crash protection and preemptive multitasking, better network access, improved security, and the capability to handle large data files. Plus your current applications can share data easily with the new generation of powerful 32-bit tools for engineering, software development, financial analysis, or line-of-business needs.


Overview

The Windows NT Workstation operating system is for any business that depends on a computer for data-intensive, line-of-business applications. In a demanding environment where downtime is lost money, the reliability and performance features of Windows NT Workstation offer clear benefits for business users, developers, and technical workstation users. Windows NT Workstation protects applications from each other while they share data seamlessly through OLE. It provides preemptive multitasking, so business users can simultaneously work with multiple applications with increased responsiveness. And system administrators get total control over line-of-business applications, so mission-critical data is protected from unauthorized or inadvertent changes. Windows NT Workstation also integrates seamlessly with your existing business systems and networks. Maybe you would like to shorten the development cycle and cut debug time in half. The strong foundation of Windows NT Workstation won't crash during debugging, compiling, or stress testing. You can develop server solutions for Microsoft BackOffice and desktop solutions for Microsoft Office and the Windows® 95 operating system on the same PC, all with the same development tools. Now that's productivity. For financial, engineering, mathematical, scientific, or other data-intensive tasks, Windows NT Workstation provides workstation performance at PC prices. You can run CAD/CAM, manufacturing, and other technical applications less expensively, and even integrate them on the same machine with popular 16-bit productivity applications. OpenGLTM graphics offer advanced color 3-D graphics. And if you need even more speed, just move to RISC or add another processor. It's that easy with Windows NT Workstation.

Line-of-business Windows

If the system is down, business is down. So Windows NT Workstation is designed to provide the highest level of system reliability and data protection for demanding environments that require transaction processing, graphics handling, or other mission-critical tasks.

The single-computer solution

Integrate your technical applications with popular productivity tools on the same computer. With one integrated solution, you can manage data more easily, share information with the rest of the organization, and widen your options using OpenGL advanced 3-D graphics, multiprocessor support, and RISC-based systems.
