Windows NT 4.0 was released in Jul of 1996.  The official release of red
had linux at that time was 3.04 with the upcoming 4.0 in beta.

Just to put things into perspective :).

All this is irrelevant to the present discussion, as W2K does not
support what I tried to do.

In any case, EOL date matters far more than release date, and how many
users there still are matters even more than either date. RH7.3 has been
EOLed for some time, but I see huge amounts of it still in data centers.
