It is interesting that this is on the flavour of Windows, DOS+Windows, that was not even designed to have subsystems and personalities. That was Windows NT.
Amusingly, the screenshot is not using the correct terminal type. Yes, there is in fact a terminfo entry that should be correct for this, that has been there for 30 years, waiting.

The depressing thing about Windows NT 4.0 is you install it and it feels incredibly snappy compared to Windows 98 SE on the exact same Pentium MMX 233 MHz machine... and then as soon as you install Internet Explorer 4 to make it compatible with later software depending on the DLLs from that the performance immediately goes to shit with visible redraws in Windows Explorer which don't happen under 98 SE. RIP.
also god the IE integration into the shell for rendering the UI was such a bad idea, Electron 20 years before its time (derogatory)
Nachschub für die 90er Retro-Software-Sammlung! Heute gibt es die deutsche Vollversion des Betriebssystems "Windows NT 4.0" auf CD-ROM. Natürlich inkl. der kompletten ISO, dem Service Pack 6a und sauberen Scans in 600dpi. Einen Satz kompatibler NT-Bootdisketten habe ich ebenfalls verlinkt.
Ich bin auch heute noch immer wieder begeistert, wie cool diese klassischen Microsoft CD-ROMs aussahen!

Viel Spaß damit! 😜

Was Software für meine Retro-Sammlung angeht, bin ich kein allzu großer Fan von OEM-Fassungen, wie sie immer haufenweise diesen Fertig-PCs beilagen, sondern suche mir bevorzugt lieber normale Retail- oder Einzelhandelsversionen. Allerdings sind letztere oft leider echt schwer zu finden und kaum mehr zu bekommen.
Bei Windows NT 4.0 hatte ich jetzt aber heute echt mal Glück! Für nichtmal 9€ konnte ich diese Vollversion auf CD-ROM ergattern. Noch komplett eingeschweißt und neu in Folie. Davon hatte ich bisher auch tatsächlich noch gar kein ISO Disc Image im Netz gefunden...
P. S. Hier nun für alle der Download-Link: https://archive.org/details/nt4_de-sp1_cdrom

Der beste Bluescreen der Microsoft Geschichte.

Yeah... I got Windows NT 4.0 running with Service Pack 6a incl. drivers and all the latest updates from 1999 and even managed to install a few games: Windows Entertainment Pack, SimCity Classic and Age of Empires II. This is quite nice! Although I remember from back in the day that NT 4.0 only supported a very limited selection of games. That's why I always used it as part of a dual-boot setup with Windows 9x.

Oh, wow.. also NT 4.0 hab ich jetzt echt schon lange nicht mehr installiert. 😉

I am also quite impressed by Windows NT, as I learn more about its workings. For example, its desktop and session architecture is something Linux desktops could learn from.
...and then I remember what became of it
