I hate Windows NT 4.0 and would actually rather use Win95 (OSR2, with patches) for most kinds of desktop-type uses, given the choice between the two. Ask anyone with regular NT4 experience on multiple machines about its stability and you'll find that it's a myth. Sometimes NT4 crashes while simply running a screensaver. I personally despise it - I won't have it on any of my machines, period. Oh, did I mention that NT4 is a bloated pig, even in 64 megs RAM? I once did a test on my 64 meg machine, I set up just a 10 meg swap file as an experiment (giving NT 74 megs RAM to work with), and with only Netscape running (with a 1024k memory cache), got an error message that NT was out of memory and to close some applications {boggle}.... -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
