Note that Raymond was talking about NT 3.1, and one of the goals of 3.5 was to make it smaller and faster.


Yeah, I file that under "Raymond glossing things over." NT 3.5 shipped 11 months before Windows 95 did!

People forget that Microsoft wasn't always a lumbering giant. Ship dates:

NT 3.1 - July 93 NT 3.5 - September 94 NT 3.51 - May 95 NT 4.0 - July 96

Platform support: Intel, MIPS, Alpha, plus PowerPC on 3.51 and 4.0.
