10 Microsoft Windows White Paper
Microsoft’s foremost recommendation is to move to 32-bit Windows-based applications. New PCs should have the
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 operating system preinstalled with a minimum of 64 MB RAM. Capable existing PCs
should be moved to Windows NT Workstation 4.0. Most PCs that are not capable of being moved to Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 should be upgraded to Windows 98. For existing Windows 3.x desktops that cannot be upgraded to
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or Windows 98, Microsoft recommends purchasing new PCs (with Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 pre-installed) and redeploying legacy systems as terminal emulators.
