Windows NT is a series of Microsoft's Windowsoperating systems written in the C and C++ programming languages.^[2][3] They were the first to use their new 'NT' (New Technology) core. That means it had a brand new core to do more things than the MS-DOS-based one that they used in older versions of Windows. Roxxcalibur lords of the nwobhm rare. Also, it was more secure and crashed less. Windows NT 3.1 was released as alpha versions in 1991-1992 and beta versions in 1993.

History[changechange source]

Microsoft decided to create a portable operating system, compatible with OS/2 and POSIX and supporting multiprocessing, in October 1988.^[4] When development started in November 1989, Windows NT was to be known as OS/2 3.0,^[5] the third version of the operating system developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. To ensure portability, initial development was targeted at the Intel i860XR RISC processor, switching to the MIPS R3000 in late 1989, and then the Intel i386 in 1990.^[6]

General information from Windows NT 3.50. The version was released in two different editions with a slight variation in the name, NT Workstation and NT Server. The Server version includes more networking features and programs than the workstation edition.

It is well believed that Dave Cutler^[7] intended the initialism 'WNT' as a pun on VMS, incrementing each letter by one. However, the project was named NT OS/2 before receiving the Windows brand.^[8] One of the original OS/2 3.0 creators, Mark Lucovsky, claims that the name was taken from the original target processor—the Intel i860, code-named N10 ('N-Ten').^[9] Various Microsoft publications, including a 1998 question-and-answer session with Bill Gates, reveal that the letters were expanded to 'New Technology' for marketing purposes but no longer carry any specific meaning.^[10] The letters were dropped from the name of Windows 2000, though Microsoft described the product as 'Built on NT technology.'

Versions of Windows NT are Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, 3.51, NT 4.0, NT 5.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows NT 3.1 was the first release of the Windows NT line. The version number 3.1 was from the fact that it looked very much like Windows 3.1. It was released in 1993. Next was Windows NT 3.5 and then 3.51. 3.5 was released in 1994 and 3.51 in 1995, just a few months before Windows 95. The version after that was NT 4.0, released in 1996. It was advertised as 'power of Windows NT and look of Windows 95' and included Internet Explorer version 2. The next version was NT 5.0, an unpopular OS in 1997, 2000, xp, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and the most recent version of Windows 10.

The NT version number was not generally used for marketing purposes, but is still used internally, and said to reflect the degree of changes to the core of the operating system.^[11] Windows 10 changes the internal version number to 10.0, which is the first time since 1996 that the internal version number has matched the marketing number.

Mozilla Firefox is a free, open source, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers. The browser began as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird mail and news client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.
Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include the NoScript JavaScript disabling utility, Tab Mix Plus customizer, FoxyTunes media player control toolbar, Adblock Plus ad blocking utility, StumbleUpon (website discovery), Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer (bookmark synchronizer), DownThemAll! download enhancer, and Web Developer toolbar.

The original version of 'Tuesday's Gone,' from the band's debut record, Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd (1973), is one of rock's first 'power ballads,' a blend of a bittersweet melody, big muscular guitars, and a catchy singalong chorus. Al Kooper had discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd in their newly adopted home of Atlanta, and signed them to his then-new Sounds of the South imprint on MCA Records. A country-soul ballad from one of the premier Southern rock bands of the 1970s, 'Tuesday's Gone' is a simple but poignant rambling-man song. The protagonist is gloomy, but stoic in the face of another failure, vowing that 'When this train ends, I'll try again/But I'm leaving my woman at home.' Lynyrd skynyrd all time greatest hits zip. In the tradition of Southern blues, country, and soul ballads, the song uses timeless themes like blowing winds and leaving trains to express loneliness and crumbled relationships.
