Quality, but what about ME, and arguably 3.11. Does NT cover both 3.5.1 and 4? (my memory is hazy about earlier)

I see 8.1 as 9. Will never not.

~~I don't know if they reclassified it at some point, but back on those days 3.5 was titled "Windows for Workgroups" and 4.0 was the first to be known simply as "NT".~~

Forget what I said, I recalled an old memory from childhood of a 3.5 upgrade box for people running Windows for Workgroups.

NT 4.0 is definitely what popularized that version prior to Windows 2000 and XP. Most people who just say "Windows NT" are thinking about 4.0.

3.11 was WfW, and ran on top of DOS just like 3.1 did.

NT 3.51 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like 3.1/3.11 on the surface. NT 4 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like Win95.

Win 95/98/Me also ran on DOS, though it was more tightly integrated than it was in the 3.1 days.

Win 2k and everything after was based on NT.

Replace NT in this list with ME and you have all the consumer versions. NT versions 3.5 and 4 were the business versions in parallel with 95, 98, and ME.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Win2k wasn't consumer. It was the business offering at the same time as ME, which may be surprising to some. Xp was their successor, merging the business and personal lines.

I remember using Windows 2000 at school. That OS was solid. Far more reliable and stable than what I was running at home (Windows 98, first edition).

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, those were the days, back when more often than not a Windows upgrade was also an improvement. As much as I loved Win2k, WinXP was even better. Let's not talk about Vista and while Win7 was nice, it wasn't much of a UX improvement.

Also 98SE, is that just covered by 98? I don't think it should be there's a reason they released a second edition.
