COMPARING THE
PLATFORMS
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and Windows 98 are both modern 32-bit desktop operating systems. While each operating
system includes a unique set of core strengths, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 is considered the Microsoft “business”
operating system and Windows 98 is considered the Microsoft “consumer” operating system. The following outlines a
high-level summary comparing the different platforms. Additional details can also be found on
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/
Windows NT Workstation 4.0
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 focuses on reliability, manageability, security, and performance. Its multithreaded, kernel-
based architecture is optimized to run modern 32-bit Windows-based applications, while also supporting many leading
MS-DOS-based and 16-bit Windows-based business applications. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 supports more than
4,000 hardware devices and peripherals. Portable users now can take advantage of Plug and Play and power
management tools from third-party vendors. With a shared architecture, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 is also the best
networking client to the scalability, manageability and performance of Windows NT Server 4.0.
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 core strengths, as compared with Windows 95, include:
• Better manageability. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 is designed to be the most manageable Windows desktop.
The Zero Administration Kit (ZAK) takes full advantage of Windows NT Workstation 4.0 management capabilities,
including shell lock down, managed applications and file access. A well-managed PC desktop running Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 35 percent when used as a personal productivity
platform, according to the Gartner Group, a leading industry research firm
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/platform/info/gartnertco.htm).
• Faster performance. From business productivity applications to high-end technical applications, Windows NT
provides the fastest performance for today’s standard desktop (32 or 64 MB RAM). For example, in performance
testing using the SYSmark32 benchmark, the Business Applications Performance Corp. (BAPCo) found that PCs
running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (on the same Pentium and Pentium II-class systems and 32 MB RAM)
improved performance by 13 to 29 percent over PCs running Windows 95.
• Increased reliability. Windows NT is designed to actively protect itself and applications from errors and external
damage—whether accidental or deliberate—and to respond predictably to software and hardware errors. For
example, every application (including legacy 16-bit applications) can be configured to use its own private memory
space. This means that if one application fails, it does not impact the other applications or the operating system.
Core system components (executive) run separately from the many subsystems, so back-door entry points cannot
compromise security or damage the system in any way.
• Better security. Windows NT and security are synonymous. The operating system includes capabilities ranging
casual file protection on portables to industrial-strength protection against malicious hackers. For example, Windows
NT Workstation 4.0 supports multiple user profiles on the same machine, so system “owners” can govern which
users may have access to various program groups, files, and menu commands. Unauthorized users cannot “log into”
a machine. Different users authorized for a machine cannot view each other's data.
