The PPro was first shipped late 1995, NT4.0 was first shipped mid 1996
and the PII was first shipped mid 1997. So in a sense the PPro and NT
4.0 were out in the same basic timeframe.
That being said though, NT 4.0 wasn't really useable until Service
Pack 4 was released, and that didn't happen until sometime in '99.
