No, because it's a nightmare to install... The MS website no longer
supports IE2 (which ships with NT4) so you can't download the service
packs/IE6 easily...  I end up having to copy the stuff between
machines, then there's another 100MB or so of security updates...

On top of that VS.NET won't run on it, which means debugging is quite
'challenging' :)

NT4 should work mostly anyway, as the Win32 API hasn't changed that
much over the years... however as MS aren't fixing bugs in it any more
you occasionally get issues with buggy API calls, etc.
