Paul Thurrott, of winsupersite, has put together a cracking history of NT. In this part one he tackles the early years right from when "the first task for the NT team was to get development machines, which were [then] top-of-the-line 25 MHz 386 PCs with 110 MB hard drives and 13 MB of RAM".

The article tackles the birth of NT, the decision to drop OS/2 through to the launch of Windows 2000.

So says one of the NT Team:

""Our core architecture is so solid, that we were able to take NT from 386-25's in 1990 to today's embedded devices, 64-way, 64-bit multiprocessor machines, and $1000 scale-out server blades. We've been able to deliver a whole array of services on it."

Well worth a read I reckon, and thanks to cheekymonkey for the puntastic title!
