The real success of Microsoft Windows is that millions of personal computer users have discovered something important to every business. It makes them more productive than ever before.
Today's business environment places more demands on computing technology, however. Complex, line-of-busi-ness applications such as inventory management, financial trading, and on-line transaction processing demand powerful hardware and reliable, responsive and secure operating systems. Just as PC hardware is rapidly advancing to take on these problems, now the Microsoft Windows NT operating system gives you personal productivity and the power to handle complex business demands.
Microsoft Windows NT is a robust platform, with advanced features needed to build sophisticated line-of-business solutions. It provides fully 32-bit operations, preemptive multitasking, advanced security and reliability, built-in networking, and complete scalability across hardware platforms for users of powerful PCs, workstations and network servers.
Windows NT provides the ease of use and proven productivity of the Windows intuitive, graphical interface. And it unlocks the potential of a wide range of advanced PC hardware, including machines based on the Intel® 80x86 processor family and RISC architectures such as the MIPS R3000 and R4000. It also supports symmetric multiprocessing systems.
Moreover, you have access to a host of existing applications for MS-DOS® and Windows that run on this hardware — without modification — as well as new, powerful 32-bit Windows-based applications. The Windows NT implementation of the Windows operating system is a complement to the MS-DOS—based version, bringing high-end computing to PC systems.
As a result, the Microsoft Windows NT operating system both protects and extends your software and hardware investment.
All of which reflects Microsoft's commitment to leverage your organization's investment in the world's most widely-used PC operating systems — MS-DOS and Windows — helping users benefit from on-going advances in the 1990's. Урок 8
Text II
The Windows NT operating system takes advantage of the productive, easy to learn and use Windows graphical environment.
• Runs popular MS-DOS and Windows-based applications on both Intel and RISC based systems without modification, as well as new 32-bit Windows-based applications.
• Delivers proven productivity through the easy to learn Windows 3.1 user interface.
• Supports 0S/2®-server and POSIX-compliant applications .
• Provides an ideal platform for new high-performance applications and complex processes such as inventory management, financial trading and modeling, publishing, corporate applications development, and technical applications .
Text III
The scalable architecture of the Windows NT operating system lets you run multiple applications more efficiently on the most advanced technologies of the 1990's.
• Full 32-bit internal architecture moves data around more efficiently.
¦ 32-bit flat memory model does away with 64K segments to provide developers access to more memory (up to 2 GB of address space per application) and allows for easier development of programs that deal efficiently with larger amounts of data.
¦ Multiple threads of execution allow applications to be more powerful and responsive.
• Symmetric multiprocessing support makes Windows NT scalable; you can enhance system performance by adding more CPU's.
• Memory protection provides the operating system and programs their own memory space to prevent data corruption and assure data integrity.
85 • Preemptive multitasking allows the operating system to efficiently allocate processing time to each application .
• Expanded RAM and disk storage capacity (4 GB RAM and effectively unlimited storage) means you can work with more complex applications.
• Freedom to choose your hardware platform: Intel 80386 and above or RISC processors such as the MIPS R3000 and R4000.
Text IV
The Windows NT operating system is ready for workgroup computing.
• It includes built-in file- and print-sharing capabilities, along with powerful workgroup application services .
¦ Developing distributed applications is easy through remote procedure calls (RPCs) for easy interprocess communication .
