2020年4月26日 · What I mean is that all the consumer versions of Windows from the first V1.0 though Windows ME were built on top of MS-DOS. So the foundation was the weak link. All Windows NT versions were built on the NT Kernel which was engineered from the start to be a preemptive multitasking operating system. Something that MS-DOS was unable to do.

2022年12月3日 · Windows NT 3.1 was similar to Windows 3.1 only in that it shared a similar look and feel, general UI principles, and support for the Windows 16-bit API. All of that is veneer; the underpinnings of NT were utterly different to those of Windows 3.1.

2024年12月31日 · What was the registry like in 16-bit Windows? Windows NT 3.1 introduced these keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT. Did they introduce the first of these as they knew they would be introducing it in Windows 95?

2021年4月19日 · The Windows NT 3.1 kernel is incompatible with enhanced 486 processors. Specifically, it is incompatible with 486 processors providing the CPUID instructions. Kernel debugging works fine with the 486DX-33 that was originally installed in the machine, and with the older non-enhanced core in a write-through Am486DX4-NV8T without SMM.

2023年11月27日 · The design of both Windows 9x and Windows NT (before NT4) was based on the assumption that the OS/kernel is driving a single local graphical console session (this is visible today: Windows Server 2022’s “Core” installation mode still fires-up a desktop environment with a mouse pointer and floating windows rather than Linux’ text-mode ...

2020年8月27日 · Still, some sites list SciTech's Display Doctor 5.3 for Windows 3.1/95/NT as a download, and SciTech Display Doctor is a generic VBE driver formely known as UniVBE. I vaguely recall installing this software back in mid-nineties and it did "just what the doctor ordered"

2020年5月28日 · These exact buttons were used in Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1 (and variants), Windows NT 3.1, Windows NT 3.51, and OS/2 1.3. I think the two menu buttons are supposed to be reminiscent of their keyboard short-cuts, AltSpacebar and Alt-.

2022年1月12日 · So the Windows 3.1-style registry was added somewhere between builds 196 and 239, and the NT-style registry somewhere between builds 239 and 297.1. Build 404.1 (the second public beta, March 1993) adds REGEDT32.EXE.

2020年4月2日 · In MS-DOS 5.0 and newer, PC-DOS 5.0 and newer, Windows 9x, Windows NT 3.1–2000, and OS/2 4.x, the FORMAT command (present in some form or another in literally every single version of Q/86-/MS-/PC-DOS, Windows, and OS/2 ever) offers the /F switch for choosing what capacity to format a floppy disk to. 1

2020年5月5日 · "Anything like a windows server architecture was only devloped way later." Windows NT was contemporary with Windows 3.1, and pre-3.1 Windows weren't exactly popular.
