Windows NT 4 application support
Windows NT 4 has been around for a number of years, and it is largely responsible for putting a dent in the vast market share that other operating systems, such as Novell NetWare, have enjoyed. Its proliferation has led to the development of a huge number of third-party applications, covering every need from the most basic to the most complex. If you have a Windows NT 4 server and are looking for a certain type of application, you are likely to have a great deal of choice.
Nearly every application that an organization could want is provided with Windows NT 4, including DHCP and DNS server programs, a Web server application, a backup utility, performance-monitoring and system-management utilities, and even (perhaps inappropriately for a server system) a selection of games. Windows NT 4 also includes various products for integration with other operating systems, so it is one of the most comprehensive singlepackage network operating system offerings available.
