NT systems were not designed to be backward compatable with DOS based programs (read: DOS games, Win3.1 and Win 95 games).
Even NT 4.0 did not support USB, so the peripherial support was hell too (again it is bad for gaming).
NT is a more secure system, with (unix like) permissions being controlled by an admin. You could not break NT security by trying to boot it from a DOS disk.
Windows 2000 is built from the NT core. It is definitly better than NT. It supports USB and multi media functions.

I use win98se at home. I have not had a reason to run down to the store and spend $150 on some anal opsys that won't let me swap out a hard drive.

If linux could run my libary of DOS and WIN games I'd dump M$ in a heart beat.
