    Yeah maybe I was thinking of NT 3.5.1. Whatever version it was, it was our first experience of a Windows version that was stable. It was a long time ago, my memory isn’t great. I think we were forced to develop on Windows 95 until we could get the NT licenses and hardware.

      That would make more sense IMO. If you used Windows 95, It probably wasn’t the original Windows NT, because that came out in 93 and was called NT 3.1.
      Windows NT 3.5.1 came out in 95, I admit I looked it up to support my memory. I still didn’t like 3.5.1 although it was better, Although it came out later the same year, I liked Windows 95, it finally got long filenames, which annoyed me tremendously that DOS/Windows didn’t have before Windows 95. Obviously Windows NT 3.5.1 still lacked the ability to boot to console, and have a full set of tools to fix things when they went wrong. Also most games didn’t work on NT. 😋
