Windows NT 3.51 is the third major release of Microsoft's Windows NT line of operating systems. It was released on May 30 1995, nine months after its predecessor, Windows NT 3.5. The release provided two notable feature improvements; firstly NT 3.51 was the first of a short-lived outing of Microsoft Windows on the PowerPC CPU architecture. The second most significant enhancement offered through the release was that it provided client/server support for inter-operating with Windows 95, which was released three months after NT 3.51. Windows NT 4.0 became its successor a year later.
