## What Is Windows NT?

Windows NT is a multitasking, multiprocessing, 32-bit operating system that runs on Intel and Alpha processors. It includes a security system (up to level C2) that centralizes access to all resources for both the local computer and remote computers connected to the network.

Windows NT comes in two versions: Microsoft Windows NT Workstation and Microsoft Windows NT Server. Windows NT Workstation is intended to be used as a desktop workstation. Windows NT Server provides file and print services and supports network applications and services, such as SQL databases or Web servers.
