[NTLUG:Discuss] MS XP Throw it in the trash!

[David Neeley]

For this comparison, I think you should say "Windows 3.0" instead of 
3.1--which was mostly a bug fix.

Both 3.0 and NT4.0 were quickly shown to be buggy. Both required incredible 
rounds of driver building. Both had problems running older applications.

In all, though, I'd say the early feelings were the worst for NT4. Remember 
all the "service packs" that were released, followed by discoveries that 
they often created as many problems as they fixed! Many people have said 
not to bother with a Microsoft OS until at least the third version--and in 
NT's case it took more like 6.
