continue to vie for most-used status in networked computers. Three examined here are Windows NT/2000, Windows 2000 Server and Linux. Windows NT/2000
Windows NT uses true FAT32 processing, and it is designed to operate in a network environment that links desktop computers that may have various hardware differences between them. Windows
NT was a business-based OS that gave "handshaking capabilities between all computers" (Morse, 2001). It also requires that all computers in any specific network be compatible with the OS,
meaning that all in the network must be relatively new. Not many businesses would be trying to use a 486 or even a Pentium I computer today, but nonprofit
organizations dependent on donations or public entities with limited hardware funds - such as schools - cannot run an NT-based network and include these older computers. Windows NT requires
current hardware. Deegan (2000) reports that the designation of "NT" formerly meant only that the OS was designed for multi-station business use.
Microsoft recently changed the name of the product, however, minimizing the distinctions between NT and other (Windows 9x) versions. NT has been the acknowledged business version since its first
release. Windows 2000 Server Organizations choose a client/server configuration based on what they currently need as well as what they are
likely to need in the future. It may be more advantageous to use the fat client approach when there is a great need for processing, but more cost effective
to use the thin client approach when the need for data movement and storage is greater than the need for data processing. It is in this environment that the
