Please, keep your exaggerations to yourself.

NT on 12MB is A LOT better than X on 4MB.
NT Workstation works just fine on a 486 with 16MB for everything but
"workstation grade" apps. I have been using this configuration for YEARs until
recently when I got a new Pentium system.

It is enjoyable. It is more "enjoyable" than a bloated UNIX on a 32MB SGI.
