- Microsoft first previewed NT in early 1992 (http://www.osviews.com/modules.php? op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4939) to several developers, and they were enthusiastic about the product. It used the standard Windows 3.1 Program Manager, making it very easy to use (or at least as easy to use as Windows 3.1).
NT also included support for most Windows applications and text based OS/2 applications. NT also had a DOS virtual machine (or an emulator for non x86 machines) so it could run DOS applications as well.
