The earlier NT releases, like NT 3.1, NT4 and 2000, are somehow extremely nice to run on extremely weak hardware. With this, I mean like running x86 Qemu on an ARM device without accelleration. I couldn't believe how NT4 was running via Qemu on a ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser, unlike Windows 95 and 98 that were much more sluggish
