Well, it was a breath of fresh air after even 3.0 let alone Windows 2.
But personally, I enjoyed NT 3.1 more. Built-in PPP so I could dial up to CompuServe and get on the Net. Not the web, which barely existed yet, but the Internet. Grab my email at the same time as I downloaded some files over FTP and grabbed the latest from my newsgroups.
At the same time, I had all of MS Office open, and a few command prompts, and a connection to the big office VAX watching that it was happy...
I enjoyed taunting Amiga owners about Real Multitasking on Windows. :-D I was about 25 at the time, in my defence.
