Windows NT 4,0 is the successor of NT 3,51, became however
revises clearly. At the most remarkable one is the optical adjustment
at Windows 95. Windows NT 4,0 is very stable and for
larger networks laid out, does not only run on IBM compatible ones
Computers but also on PowerPC, MIPS RISC and alpha RISC systems.
See in addition the table on the NT 3,1 side.

The innovations of NT 4,0 in the overview

Windows 95 user surface, inclusive Explorer, document suit-case, waste-paper basket and network environment
Telephone API (TAPI) and university modem for applications of faxes, Exchange (email) and Internetexplorer
Support of NetWare 4
Peer of Web services for Intranet Web server
Microsoft Internet Explorer
DCOM for distributed applications for Internet
Windows Exchange for the administration of internal and external enamels
Direct Unterstüzung of diagram and audio's applications

The before-installed Internet Explorer 2,0 is to be used in the today's Web to nothing more,
because of simplest sides it fails.

The Internet Explorer 2.0

The Setup begins first in the well-known text mode, in runs the installation changes it however
then nevertheless into the window mode. Thereby the network is queried particularly in detail and
configured.

NT 4,0 can also administer like the previous versions several Microsoft operating systems,
since it possesses its own boat manager.

The boat manager: Since only NT is 4,0 on the computer, there is only the VGA mode as selection.

The actual boat procedure is arranged very spartanisch, it gives only some system information. (THX ton of Codezilla)

As usually is the case for 4,0 predecessors there is all NT several users, at one
Computers or in a network to be administered can. Therefore is
with each start a registration necessarily.

After the start this message appears short for registration requirement. (THX ton of Codezilla)

The actual announcing dialogue, one knows here the computer also without password driving down. (THX ton of Codezilla)

At first sight NT 4,0 Windows 95 sees it similar for confounding, puts however behind
the front clearly more.

The Desktop of NT 4.0

Therefore NT needs 4,0 some at training period, since it is everywhere somewhat more complex and more complicated.

NT supported since the first version several CCUs, here unpacked RSR archives
while the other one is available for system services still. Special applications
can also in such a way use a substantial increase in output occurs.

For example there is no equipment manager, like with Win 9x, but
the devices become over only over the appropriate linkages of system control
installed and getreibert. The drivers are started in devices the menu:

System info. and system integration of a network map

The file management is however identical to Windows 95 almost, if one of extended release options
on file level by NTFS (an optional file system) foresees. Because cannot do only accesses for
the files in the network to be steered, but also for local user through
File/listing authorizations.

File authorizations under NTFS for the file C:\Programme

With installed Internet Explorer 4,
the Explorer looks like of Win the 95C/Win 98.

The Explorer briefly before the installation of the IE 4.0

The Windows Explorer of NT 4,0 with installed IE 4,0, the many DOS files come by a multi-boat system

In NT 4,0 the most important of Microsoft the plus is! 95 package installs, thus one comes into the optional
Benefit of writing smoothing, more beautiful Desktopicons and few little things a more.

The Windows 95! Plus package NT makes 4,0 more beautiful

This is also the reason for the fact that a “3D” is Flipper with NT 4,0 thereby although it actually not as
Play system admits is.

If one drives the computer down, one receives this message, NT switches not like Windows 9x to a switching off screen.

Contrary to Windows 95 NT 4,0, beside much memory, requires also still
absolutely a 486er processor for running.

To install error message with the attempt Win NT 4,0 on a 386er

The 486er processor possesses one 32 bits interface and 8 KB roofridge level Cache. The Second level Cache is external on the Main board. The clock rate goes from 16-133 MHz. Beside the normal 486 DX there are still 486 SX with deactivated coprocessor.

This model of 93 possesses 66 MHz and thus the minimum requirement for NT 4,0 with IE 4.0.

There were updates as Hotfixes and as large recommendable service luggage, the last version of the
Service luggage is the 6a. Thus NT 4,0 becomes euroable under other 2000 and. Unfortunately is DirectX
in the service luggage integrates, so that the version is 6 last stop.

The moreover NT supports 4,0 from house neither modern interfaces, like USB or Firewire,
still it can begin something with the file system FAT32.

After the service luggage 6a there were still some smaller updates, unfortunately however not for important
Core elements, like DirectX or for the support of new interfaces

Result:

NT 4,0 is quite stable, is suitable however neither for playing (only few plays run, it give only DirectX 6),
still for current computers (around USB & CO one does not come around). There it substantially more complicated
to serve and more configure as Windows 2000 are, are actually worthwhile themselves for nobody. Systems
on those times more Windows 2000 decently does not run is no more suitable for the productive employment.

For amateur handicraftsmen and software archaeologists NT 4,0 is however a beautiful playground for multi-processor and
Nicht-i386-Systeme.
