Nobody (that is sane) misses Workstation NT.

I actually liked NT. Of course I had to like it, because some of the UNIX software I was using in grad school was ported to Windoze, but only to NT. So if I wanted to get stuff done in peace and quiet at home, NT it was.

Guess what I just found, in a desk drawer?

Dos 3.3 Plus, on 2 720K floppies.

3.3 plus was a Zenith Data Systems version, that broke the partition size limit then in effect, in some proprietary way.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
