Windows NT was the revolutionary OS 2000, XP, and Vista were built off of. Yeah it didn't have support for consumer hardware but that was because it was a business OS. |

I didn't like it because it was unstable

You're using a Geforce 6200 as a GPU, of course it's going to run crap for you.  |

It was a hell of a lot more stable than Windows 3.1 and 9X. |

Comparing something that sucks to something that sucks even more doesn't mean the thing that sucks less doesn't suck.

I've decided to scapegoat Vista for my recent computer complete and total f**** (which culminated in a reformatting).
Burn mutha!

I just happened to like NT because I used it for several years and got accustomed to it. Windows NT wasn't bloated with cute crap or anything. It was just a Rock Solid OS that was good for Office Work, Security and Web Browsing. Sort of how linux is king right now for that same purpose. |

Lunix. I hate it. It's never going to go off anyway since you need Windoze to run it, so you might as well use the best OS in existence (why else would it be so popular).

It had DOS 3.2 with Windows 1.0 on a 286 (it was donated to an astronomy club I worked in). The computer was a heap of bolts, it had an external hard drive, not that it was supposed to be an external HD, there was simply no room left inside the computer, so the HD was balanced precariously next to the case, and held by some blue tack.
One day an error came up in Windows - "Hard Drive read/write failure". I thought the HD broke. No, it was simply full up, there was no warning that the 5 megabyte HD was filling up, it just crashed the OS. I had to delete files using DOS.
P.S. Windows 1.0 was a worse version of Mac classic OS, which it was a clone. |

I did not find it incredibly stable.
