This article introduces what Windows NT is in the end, the content is very detailed, interested friends can use for reference, I hope it can be helpful to you.

Windows NT (New Technology) is an operating system designed by Microsoft for high-end individual users and servers; there are actually several releases that we think of as a system for discussion purposes. Since the end of Windows ME announced in 2000, all current Window operating systems have been based on Window NT; Windows 2000 is NT 5 and XP is NT 5.1. NT originated from VMS and has many important features similar to VMS.

NT is piled up step by step, lacking the concept of unity corresponding to Unix "everything is a file" or the MacOS desktop. Because its core technology is not rooted in a small group of solid central ideas, [14] it becomes obsolete every few years. Each generation of technologies-- DOS (1981), Windows 3.1 (1992), Windows 95 (1995), Windows NT 4 (1996), Windows 2000 (2000), Windows XP (2002) and Windows Server 2003 (2003)-- as old ways are declared obsolete and no longer well supported, developers must learn from scratch in different ways.

The version of Windows NT

Windows NT includes two versions, Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server. To build a network operating system, you need to use the Server version.

Since the launch of Windows NT 3.1 in 1993, Microsoft has been developing new versions of the NT network operating system, mainly as follows:

Windows NT 3.1

Windows NT 4.0

Windows Server 2000 (Windows NT 2000)

Windows XP (Windows NT 5.1)

Windows Server 2003 (Windows NT 5.2)

Windows Vista (Windows NT 6)

Windows Server 2008 (Windows NT 6.0)

Windows 7 (Windows NT 6.1)

As can be seen from the above, the common PC operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 also use Windows NT kernel, but they are mainly PC-oriented, so they do not provide perfect network service management functions (equivalent to Workstation version). Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 are used as network operating systems.

So much for sharing about what Windows NT is. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
