Windows NT is Windows 4 - the first true 32 bit version of 
the Windows operating system and first version of Windows 
that was not built on an MSDOS base.  It was the predecessor 
to Windows 2000. 

Even Windows 2000 is getting a bit long in the tooth ... 
Mainstream Support ended the end of June 2005 and Extended 
Support will expire next year.  It is probably time to 
consider an update to one of the currently supported versions.  
I doubt that you will see support for "retired" operating 
systems in either of the other two major Windows based contest 
loggers.
