Module 23 - Windows NT. The Windows NT operating system is designed to take advantage of the many advances in processor technology. Although primarily run on the Intel architecture, NT was designed to be portable in order to take advantage of whatever promising technologies happened to come along. Key goals for the system included portability, security, POSIX compliance, multiprocessor support, extensibility, international support, and compatibility with MS-DOS and MS-Windows applications. | Lecture Operating system concepts (Fifth edition): Module 23 - Avi Silberschatz, Peter Galvin
