Windows NT (both the Workstation and Server) is a 32-bit Operating System. It is a preemptive, multi-tasking Operating System, which means that the Operating System controls allocation of CPU time, not the applications, stopping one application from hanging the OS. NT supports multiple CPU's giving true Multi-tasking, using symmetrical multiprocessing, meaning the processors share all tasks, as opposed to asymmetrical multiprocessing, where the OS uses one CPU and the applications another.

Windows NT comes with an RPC which interoperates with DCE RPC. Windows 95 apparently provides this interface as well. However, it is not quite the same as DCE. The wire-level protocol is the same as DCE RPC, so applications running on NT can communicate with DCE applications on other platforms. However, the application source code is not instantly portable. Microsoft changed the format of procedure names and moved the status result from a parameter to the function value.

Under UNIX, there's a PGP command line utility (pgpe) which does the encryption. However, under NT, PGP 5 is GUI based only.

Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.
