Apparently 98 = early NT
hm_murdock:
The IE4 version of explorer.exe and all of the webtop components report Windows NT. IE4 was a Cairo component, and Win2K was the realization of the Cairo initiative. This has nothing to do with "98 being NT" or "Adding NT parts to 98". They simply put NT versions on all the IE bits.
ReggieMicheals:
To reiderate:
Windows 9x Kernel was developed exsculsively for Microsoft.
Windows NT Kernel is a highly modified Microsoft(not IBM, that was later) OS/2 kernel left from the Microsoft-IBM breakup.
Both use the same API - it's how it's done at the machine level that's different.

This comp has 98 because of windows compatablity and its not xp because my dad is a lazy bum. I do have a ubuntu comp, but for some reason it doesn't like my modem. I have 2.5 because I got it free from my teacher.

Incorrect. NT was created by Dave Cutler, formerly of DEC, and it owes much of its existance to VMS. I think Cutler (one of the few true high-quality coders at MS) would owe you a kick in the teeth for that remark. NT carried an OS/2 text-mode subsystem for a number of years, but contrary to popular fictional history, NT isn't just OS/2 re-branded. If you actually fucking KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT OS/2 you'd know that.
Now, seriously, I get so goddamn sick of people spreading misinformation and plain old LIES. You really can't comprehend how stupid it makes the anti-Windows movement look.
