Made in 1992?

Niw you're really showing your ignorance.

Yes, NT 3.5 was released in about 1992. But it was actually a ported DEC Alpha OS from a few years before...so perhaps 1988.

And the OS today is very different from NT 3.5. So it's not software that was "made in 1992".

Not that when it was first released has any relevance anyway. Hell, I'm more partial to software that's been around for ages. It's demonstrated itself over time.

But I guess someone who's still wet behind the ears doesn't get that.
