NT seemed a more complex and unwieldy program which needs a lot of resources to operate. If memory serves, the supposed advantages are increased stability (this does not seem to be the case), security (which seems a proxy for "users have a hard time running unauthorized programs") and file system. Disadvantages include driver and power management support which is not as good as win95. Is this right?
