I agree with everything Earl Adamy had to say about WinNT, although as a
previous WinNT 3.51 user, I strong recommend upgrading to WinNT 4, because
there are many important improvements. WinNT is much more robust that Win95
. It is the operating system traders who want a 32-bit operating system
should be using, because it is almost impossible for an application program
to crash the entire system and bring everything down.

Earl also is right about IE 4.01. I was about to install IE 4.01 months ago
when Microsoft first released it. Fortunately, I read the readme file first
and found what it was going to do, so I never installed it. There must be
lots of disgusted users out there who did.
