Windows NT does not have USB support.
Windows NT only allows 10 concurrent connections, making it a very poor server. Windows Server (NT, 2000, 2003) allow many more concurrent connections. Windows Server has better tools for running a server, supporting large disks, RAID, etc.
Windows NT predates Windows 95, so it's incredibly obsolete.

Windows NT 4.0 does NOT predate Windows 95, nor is it limited to 10 connections. Ignore that last posting.
The newer versions of Windows Server (2000 and 2003) are still based on the NT concept with some improvements and added security features. The biggest change is probably the Active Directory structure.
More importantly Microsoft has discontinued support for Windows NT.

The biggest feature of NT 4.0 Server - important distinction - is that it has a very small footprint on the hard drive. It will carry more than 10 concurrent connections - that figure is for NT 4.0 workstation when being used as a "server".
NT 4.0 Server can run on a slower computer with less memory, ect, while 2000 Server will require considerably more system resources.
Also, 2000 is more "up to date" and you are less likely to run into compatibility problems.
These are a few of many differences. I would look on the
www.microsoft.com site. It is beyond a doubt the most complete reference for their operating systems, and the most accurate.
