Windows 95
---------------
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows 95, is in fact, NT4.0/Windows 95, or as I've recently taken to calling it, NT4.0 plus Windows 95. Windows 95 is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning NT4.0 system made useful by the NT4.0 corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the NT4.0 system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NT4.0 which is widely used today is often called Windows 95, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NT4.0 system, developed by the NT4.0 Project.
There really is a Windows 95, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows 95 is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Windows 95 is normally used in combination with the NT4.0 operating system: the whole system is basically NT4.0 with Windows 95 added, or NT4.0/Windows 95. All the so-called Windows 95 distributions are really distributions of NT4.0/Windows 95.
---------------------------
No, no. I believe you have it wrong. NT4.0 was a separate development from Windows 95, 98, and millennium edition. Windows 9x never used the NTFS file system. Windows 2000 was the first consumer OS to use NTFS, and all of the other features provided by NT.

I believe I have been outmatched, good sir.
A quick trip to Wikipedia proves you right.
"The first release was NT 3.1 (1993), numbered "3.1" to match the consumer Windows version, which was followed by NT 3.5 (1994), NT 3.51 (1995), NT 4.0 (1996), and Windows 2000, which is the last NT-based Windows release that does not include Microsoft Product Activation"
