NT is a pain in the butt to support. It's sluggish, incompatible and
the security "features" get in the way constantly. Support for NT
(availability of video drivers and such) has always been far behind
Win9x. Not to start a flame war, but honestly I can't see why anyone
wastes their money and effort on NT (or Microsoft's cleverly named 2000
which is still just a more mainstream version of NT).
