Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993. It was originally designed to be a powerful high level language based processor independent multiprocessing multiuser operating system with features comparable to UNIX to complement workstation versions of Windows that were based on MS-DOS until 2001. It was the first 32-bit version of Windows. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are the latest versions of Windows NT.
Major Features
The original version of Windows is a 16-bit GUI program which runs on MS-DOS and was written in Intel 8086 assembler. MS-DOS uses interrupts to call operating system services. 16-bit Windows is characterised by the use of 16-bit near pointers, 32-bit far pointers, and an awkward memory allocation system which requires the programmer to lock down a pointer to obtain a physical address and then release it so the operating system can relocate objects as needed to maximise efficiency. This was made necessary by the segment-based addressing of the Intel 8086 based processor which essentially adds a 4-bit extension to the 16-bit addressing of the Intel 8080. DOS was also written to suit the needs of a single user, with minimal security. A user with Windows 95 who does not type in a proper password still can access the local resources, if not the network. 16-bit Windows is also built around the concept of cooperative multitasking. A program must do operations quickly and then give control back to Windows, which can then give messages to other tasks. If a program fails to do so, it will stop all other processes on the machine, rendering it inoperable, and this often happened on Win16 machines. This is known to most people as the "Blue Screen of Death."
