microsoft windows nt- to go hand to hand with the powerful unix client server system that once demanded corporate computing,microsoft developed microsoft windows nt.unlike windows 95-98 windows nt is specifically designed for client server systems to msupport client server computing ,windows nt is made up of 2 components,windows nt work station,and windows nt server, windows nt is a sophisticated operating system oriented to business needs ,the windows nt work station module is designed for individual desktop computers,on screen it looks like windows 95,but it isn't as easy to use.the real benefits of nt workstation emerge in a networked corporate environment,where nt desktops link to servers running windows server.

Windows NT is a group of OS's Microsoft is currently selling.
NT means New Technology.

Ok, since everyone answered the NT question (New Technology is the official M$ response), I'll take the XP one...
The official Microsoft answer is it stands for eXPerience. More than a few detractors have labeled it as meaning eXtra Pricey, eXPensive, and eXtra Profitable.

When Windows NT came out, it had a new file system NTFS (New Technology File System). Windows NT therefore stands for Windows (New Technology).

I thought NT stood for Network because I only ever saw it on Networked computers (school, uni). I personally wouldn't buy this OS, it has no support for USB and didn't really take off (like Windows Me).

Not quite New Technology, that is a nick name...The actual name given by Micro$oft is Network Technology since it was the first Windoze product to focus on networking for business...
