I have been using NT4.0 ever since it came out.  It runs 32 bit application
about
30% faster than 95, has better memory management ( I have 128 Meg) and
supports
multiple processors.  There is a good article in this month's issue of Byte
magazine,
saying that even '98 is not as good as NT for serious computing.  I run
POV_Ray on it
ever since version 3.0 came out.  Some renderings I tried take up to 100 Meg
of ram
and they run without a glitch.  The only thing is that some games don't run
and it
does not support a lot of no-name brand hardware.
