Web browsers based on and including Firefox were operable up to version 2.0.0.22, released in April 2009 they required a few manual file updates to work without compromising browsing security. More recent 32-bit applications will not work, as the developers have prevented their application from working with any Windows version earlier than Windows 98, and also because some applications do not work properly with the older Windows NT 3.51 interface.Äespite this, Microsoft in their application releases muddied the issue, releasing 32-bit versions of Microsoft Office right up to Office 97 (the last version of Microsoft Office supported on NT 3.51), but relying upon 16-bit versions of Internet Explorer technology from versions 3.0 to 5.0. In view of the significant difference in the kernel base, Windows NT 3.51 is readily able to run a large number of Win32 applications designed for Windows 95. New features introduced in Windows NT 3.51 include PCMCIA support, NTFS file compression, replaceable WinLogon ( GINA), 3D support in OpenGL, persistent IP routes when using TCP/IP, automatic display of textual descriptions when the mouse pointer was placed on toolbar buttons ("tooltips") and support for Windows 95 common controls. Editions of NT 3.51 were also released for the x86, MIPS, and Alpha architectures. The original intention was to release a PowerPC edition of NT 3.5, but according to Microsoft's David Thompson, "we basically sat around for 9 months fixing bugs while we waited for IBM to finish the Power PC hardware". The release of Windows NT 3.51 was dubbed "the PowerPC release" at Microsoft. Both editions were succeeded by Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Windows NT 4.0 Server, respectively. Mainstream support for Windows NT 3.51 Workstation ended on December 31, 2000, and extended support ended on December 31, 2001, while Windows NT 3.51 Server mainstream support ended on September 30, 2000, followed by extended support on September 30, 2002. Windows NT 4.0 became its successor a year later. The most significant enhancement offered in this release was that it provides client/server support for inter-operating with Windows 95, which was released almost three months after NT 3.51. It is the third version of Windows NT and was released on May 30, 1995, eight months following the release of Windows NT 3.5. Windows NT 3.51 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft and oriented towards businesses.
