Windows NT
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows NT was the first of Microsoft's operating systems to use the new 'NT' (New Technology) kernel, which is still partly present in Windows XP (NT 5.1). A kernel is a file which allowed the computer to run from the processor, making the computer work. That meant it had a brand new kernel to do more tasks than the MS-DOS based kernel. The new kernel meant that Windows was more secure and crashed less.
