Two things:

1) NT will be running Windows applications (3.x type) *not* as
native NT apps, but will do a similar "windows within NT" trick
used by OS/2. That means there will be the same type of compatibility
problems with Windows 3.1 executables running under NT as currently
exist under OS/2

2) its a *WHOLE NEW OS*. There will be the same type of bugs in
NT (and perhaps worse, since OS/2 has gone through several revisions)
as now exist in OS/2

Finally, it appears to me that the "Windows" in "Windows NT" is
purely a marketing move; the only thing Windows NT has in common
with Windows 3.1 is they both run on Intel chips and both are made
by Microsoft.
