That was from personal experience.  *My* NT system is a better
development environment than the 95 side of the same machine.  My 95
tends to hang in places where NT won't, and debugging seems to work
better (for example, NT allows gdb to attach to running processes, but
I haven't been able to convince 95 to do that).

We also have some software debugging tools that only run under NT, due
to the way the underlying system is designed.  Task Manager is also a
helpful NT-only tool.

Your mileage may vary, of course.
