Windows Microsoft is breathing more life into older versions of its products by offering businesses extended coverage for fixing security problems and bugs. Large companies running old favorites Windows NT 4.0, Exchange Server 5.5 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 can expect at least three more years of support from Microsoft after it decided to update the Custom Support Agreement program. There is even the suggestion support will go beyond three years.

the only thing that keeps me from using NT4 instead of any other ms os (i mainly use BeOS and linux otherwise) is that the only reason i use windows is to play games and use unsupported pheripals. As usb does not work very well in nt4 and directx is now so old (dx7 is the latest for nt4) that ist practically unusable. Well if it works for you, why change, but as a personal computing os its just a bit outdated.

I may be mistaken but I believe DirectX 3 is the last version for NT4, included in the last service pack.
