NT Web Hosting - NT Hosting is on of our most used web hosting services. Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, and was succeeded by Windows 2000 (still based on Windows NT). Although NT the company decided to drop "NT" from the Windows naming scheme for marketing, it internally still uses Windows NT as a means of reference. The latest available operating systems based on NT are Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation led by
Dave Cutler to build Windows NT, and many elements reflect earlier DEC
experience with VMS and RSX-11. The OS is designed to run on multiple
instruction set architectures, with the kernel separated from the hardware by a
hardware abstraction layer. APIs are implemented as subsystems atop the publicly
undocumented Native API; it was this that allowed the late adoption of the
Windows API. Originally a microkernel design, subsequent releases have
integrated more functions into the kernel for better performance. Windows NT was
the first operating system to use Unicode internally.
Windows NT 3.1 ran on Intel IA-32 x86, DEC Alpha, and MIPS
R4000 processors. Windows NT 3.51 added support for PowerPC processors.
Intergraph Corporation ported Windows NT to its Clipper architecture and later
SPARC, but neither version was sold to the public. Windows NT 4.0 was the last
major release to support Alpha, MIPS, or PowerPC, though development of Windows
2000 for Alpha continued until 1999, when Compaq stopped support for Windows NT
on that architecture. Only 2 of the Windows NT 4.0 variants (IA-32 and Alpha)
have a full set of service packs available. All of the other ports done by 3rd
parties (Motorola, Intergraph, etc.) have few, if any, publicly available
updates.
