Windows NT4 was much more stable than the previous Win3.11->95->98->Me line, but - primarily due to moving Graphics drives into the kernel for performance - was considerably less stable than its immediate predecessor in the NT line, Windows NT 3.51.



Also, NT4 had zero impact on mainstream users. It wasn't until Windows XP that the NT kernel became mainstream.

And even after that, you could see users committed to their 98 installs for a long time.
