Windows NT (Windows New Technology) is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, of which the first version was released in July 1993. Prior to the appearance of Windows 95, the Microsoft company conceived a new line of operating systems oriented towards workstations and network servers. An operating system with its own graphical interface, stable and with characteristics similar to UNIX network systems. The letters NT come from the product's designation as "New Technology". Beginning with Windows 2000,1 "NT" was removed from the product name and is only included in the product version string along with various low-level places within the system.2 NT was the first purely 32-bit version of Windows, while its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. It is a multi-architecture operating system. Initially, it supported various instruction set architectures, including IA-32, MIPS, and DEC Alpha; Support for PowerPC, Itanium, x64, and ARM were later added. The latest versions support x86 (including IA-32 and x64) and ARM. Major features of the Windows NT family include Windows Shell, Windows API, Native API, Active Directory, Group Policy, Hardware Abstraction Layer, NTFS, BitLocker, Windows Store, Windows Update, and Hyper-V. Before 2001, Microsoft distributed Windows NT as an office and business operating system, and maintained the MS-DOS-based line (Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME) as a consumer line of operating systems. The first versions, all released in the 1990s, were Windows NT 3.1 (1993), Windows NT 3.5 (1994), Windows NT 3.51 (1995), and Windows NT 4.0 (1996). There is also Windows 2000 (which was initially to be released under the name Windows NT 5.0), which reached RTM in December 1999, and was finally released in February 2000. It is serious that windows NT is famous ´´
