Windows NT 4.0.

Rock solid compared to Win95. Yet had the Win95 interface.

Great for business usage.

Helped kill off Novell's Netware by being easier to use. (having been an NT 4.0 and Netware administrator at the time)

Set the stage for Windows 2000 and XP.

speaking of NT4... NT 4 sp6 would run FOREVER until you decided to reboot it ;) We had an old server running NT4 doing something that I cannot think of right now. It's uptime was like 4 years. We had to move buildings and when I restarted it, the entire WNNT dir was corrupted!

I guess you could blame that on old hardware.. But still amusing ;)
