| brolin_empey | CatButts: Windows NT 3.51 was released between NT 3.5 and NT 4.0 but, to answer your question, they are part of the Windows NT series, as the name says. The first release of Windows NT was version 3.1 in 1993, then 3.5 in 1994, 3.51 in 1995, 4.0 in 1996, 5.0 (marketing name: Windows 2000) in late 1999 for the RTM, early 2000 for the GA, and so on. Windows Me (marketing name for Windows 4.9 or 4.90) was released later in 2000 and is the final release of the | 02:29 |

Since then only the Windows CE and Windows NT series are still developed but Microsoft stopped using Windows NT as a marketing name and largely stopped using actual version numbers as marketing names, even when the marketing name uses a number, which is confusing, such as with Windows 7 (Windows NT 6.1), Windows 8 (NT 6.2), Windows 8.1 (NT 6.3). Oh, except Windows 10 is actually Windows NT version 10 because Microsoft bumped the | 02:29 |

| brolin_empey | I think the pattern is that all of the Windows releases named using the full year, such as 2000 and later but not 95 and 98, are part of the Windows NT series but for the releases whose name uses a number, you have to know that the original Windows series ended at version 4.9 or 4.90 and that 5.0 and later are only Windows NT. And that Windows NT began at version 3.1 so 3.0 and earlier are the original Windows series. This is not considering the Windows CE | 02:51 |
| brolin_empey | series, though, only the original Windows series and Windows NT series. | 02:51 |
