What happened
Tom's Hardware marks the 30th anniversary of Windows NT 4.0 reaching RTM, noting it brought the Windows 95 UI to servers during the Pentium era. The article body is almost entirely site boilerplate with no substantive content beyond the headline.
Why it matters
There is no actionable detail in the provided text — it's a headline with no article body. Builders cannot extract any practical takeaway from this as submitted.
Discussion angle
At best a brief nostalgia mention: how NT 4.0 unifying the Win95 UI across desktop and server shaped expectations for server manageability — but the source text doesn't support even this, so skip unless someone brings independent knowledge.
