The ultimate program for maintaining employee focus. This program is not only incompatible with any distracting activities (i.e. games, chat rooms, and interesting desktops) but it also cannot be manipulated by the user, only by a System Administrator.

<operating system> A version of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system, originally code named "Cairo". It was supposed to ship in the first half of 1995. Details are scarce, but it is intended to provide an object-oriented version of Windows. (1996-07-09)

<operating system> (Windows New Technology, NT) Microsoft's 32-bit operating system developed from what was originally intended to be OS/2 3.0 before Microsoft and IBM ceased joint development of OS/2. NT was designed for high end workstations (Windows NT 3.1), servers (Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server), and corporate networks (NT 4.0 Enterprise Server). The first release was Windows NT 3.1. Unlike Windows 3.1, which was a graphical environment that ran on top of MS-DOS, Windows NT is a complete operating system. To the user it looks like Windows 3.1, but it has true multi-threading, built in networking, security, and memory protection. It is based on a microkernel, with 32-bit addressing for up to 4Gb of RAM, virtualised hardware access to fully protect applications, installable file systems, such as FAT, HPFS and NTFS, built-in networking, multi-processor support, and C2 security. NT is also designed to be hardware independent. Once the machine specific part - the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) - has been ported to a particular machine, the rest of the operating system should theorertically compile without alteration. A version of NT for DEC's Alpha machines was planned (September 1993). NT needs a fast 386 or equivalent, at least 12MB of RAM (preferably 16MB) and at least 75MB of free disk space. NT 4.0 was followed by Windows 2000. Usenet newsgroups: news:comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup, news:comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc. (2002-06-10)

<operating system> Microsoft's first version of {Windows NT}, released in September 1993, price UKP 395, after having been in beta-test for as long as anyone could remember. The person responsible for VMS on the DEC VAX [who?] was also responsible for Windows NT. Incrementing each letter in VMS yields WNT. http://win2000mag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=4494.

The architecture of Windows NT, a line of operating systems produced and sold by Microsoft, is a layered design that consists of two main components, user mode and kernel mode. It is a preemptive, reentrant multitasking operating system, which has been designed to work with uniprocessor and symmetrical multiprocessor (SMP)-based computers.

<operating system> A much improved version of Microsoft's Windows NT 3.1. NT is now (July 1996) supplied as "Windows NT 3.5 Workstation" and "Windows NT 3.5 Server". It has better OLE support, higher performance and requires less memory. (1996-07-08)

Windows 2000 (Reference: Windows, MS)

<operating system> (Win2k, W2k, NT5, Windows NT 5.0) An operating system developed by Microsoft Corporation for PCs and servers, as the successor to Windows NT 4.0. Early beta versions were referred to as "Windows NT 5.0". Windows 2000 was officially released on 2000-02-17. Windows 2000 is most commonly used on Intel x86 and Pentium processors, with a DEC Alpha version rumoured. Unlike Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 is not available for PowerPC or MIPS. Windows 2000's user interface is very similar to {Windows 95} or Windows NT 4.0 with integrated Internet Explorer, or to Windows 98. It is available in four flavours: - Professional: the client version, meant for desktop workstations, successor to Windows NT Workstation. - Server: "entry-level" server, designed for small deployments, and departmental file, print, or intranet servers. - Advanced Server: high throughput, larger scale servers and applications, and small to medium scale websites. - Data Center Server: software for large-scale server clusters (in development as of 2000-03-14). New features in Windows 2000 include: - Active Directory. - Greatly improved built-in security mechanisms, including Kerberos-based authentication, public key support, an encrypting file system, and IPsec support. - Integrated web browser - Internet Explorer 5.0. - Integrated web server - IIS 5.0 - Terminal services for displaying application interfaces on remote computers (similar to X-Windows). - File protection that prevents user programs from accidentally deleting or overwriting critical system files. - Improved hardware support, including Plug-and-Play, DVD, IEEE-1394 (FireWire), USB, infra-red, PCMCIA, ACPI, laptop computers. - Improved user interface, including a single point to control the entire system. - Improved management tools, including remote administration. Minimum system requirements, according to Microsoft, are Pentium-133 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 650 MB of {hard disk} space. These are for W2K Professional, others require more. Many operating systems compete with Windows 2000, including the Apple MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, Hewlett-Packard HP-UX, SGI Irix. Novell's NDS also provides a service similar to Active Directory. Windows 2000 will be followed by Windows XP Professional and Windows 2002. http://microsoft.com/windows2000/.
