Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6 is offered as a preinstalled operating system for
new Armada E500, M700, and M300 computers.
Note:
Compaq supports customers who install Windows NT 4.0 using Service Pack 4 or

Hardware Functionality and Software Enhancements
Since Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 was originally positioned and designed for desktop computing,
there are some portable computer features that are not supported by the native operating system
or do not function in the same manner as they would under Windows 95. These features are
primarily associated with PC Card and power management support.
