Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 use different device drivers. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 works with over 4,000 different hardware types, Windows 95 is compatible with an even broader range of devices and peripherals. Identical Win32 Driver Model and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface in NT Workstation 5.0 and Windows 98 eliminates many differences in drivers, power management, and Plug and Play potential. Is data and network security a primary business requirement? Windows NT Workstation 4.0 has much better security than does 95 or 98. With Windows NT all users are authenticated before accessing information. With Windows NT discretionary access to resources, all the way to individual files, is possible. Windows 95 is OK for keeping the honest people honest, but really can’t build a secure network.
