Windows NT 3.5
`
`From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
`
`Windows NT 3.5 is an
`operating system developed
`by Microsoft Corporation; it
`is the second version of the
`Windows NT family of
`operating systems. It was
`released on September 21,
`1994.
`
`One of the primary goals
`during Windows NT 3.5's
`development was to
`increase the speed of the
`operating system; as a
`result, the project was given
`the codename "Daytona" in
`reference to the Daytona
`International Speedway in
`Daytona Beach, Florida.[1]
`
`Windows NT 3.5 is
`succeeded by Windows NT
`3.51.

`

`The editions of the previous Windows NT release, Windows NT
`3.1, were named Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
`Server. The Workstation edition allowed only 10 concurrent
`clients to access the file server and no Mac clients. The Server
`edition included all of the functions and network options.
`
`Windows NT 3.5 included integrated Winsock and TCP/IP
`support. The initial commercially available version of Windows
`NT, version 3.1, included only a proprietary and quite
`incomplete implementation of TCP/IP based on the AT&T
`UNIX System V "Streams" API. The TCP/IP and IPX/SPX
`stacks in Windows NT 3.5 are rewritten.[2] NetBIOS over
`TCP/IP (NetBT) support as a compatibility layer for TCP/IP
`was introduced as also the Microsoft DHCP and WINS clients
`and DHCP and WINS servers.[3]
`
`Windows NT 3.5 can share files through FTP and printers
`through LPR and act as Gopher, Web, and WAIS servers. The
`Windows NT 3.5 Resource Kit included the first
`implementation of Microsoft DNS. Windows NT 3.5 included
`Remote Access Service for remote dial-up modem access to
`LAN services using either SLIP or PPP protocols.

`
`Other new features in Windows NT 3.5 include VFAT (ability to use long file names of up to
`255 characters), and support for I/O completion ports.[4] It featured a new startup screen. The
`interface was updated to be consistent with the Windows for Workgroups 3.xx. It also upgraded
`Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) support from version 1.0 to version 2.0 and is more
`efficient - performance is higher and it requires less memory than Windows NT 3.1.
`
`Windows NT 3.5 did not support laptop computers as it had no drivers for PCMCIA adapter
`cards.
`
`In July 1995, Windows NT 3.5 with Service Pack 3 was rated by the National Security Agency
`as complying with TCSEC C2 criteria.[5]
`
`Windows NT 3.5 refuses to install on a processor newer than the original Pentium (P5 core).[6]
`Windows NT 3.51 fixed this. It is however possible to modify files on the install CD which will
`allow it to install.
