Windows NT is a new implementation of Windows that was designed from the ground up.
Unlike the other Windows variations, Windows NT is not based on DOS.
Windows NT supports two different file systems. The first is NTFS, the NT file system.
This is an advanced UNIX-like file system. The second is regular FAT, like that used by
DOS. Support for FAT is included for compatibility reasons or for setting up PCs that dual
boot to both Windows NT and another operating system. Even though Windows NT will read
both FAT and NTFS partitions, they are not compatible with each other.
