    I am studying A+ OS 2003 objectives and some of the question asked in Mike Meyers Test Suites are about NT 4.0.

    Q) Can anyone confirm that GUI of Windows NT 4.0 is based on Windows 95 GUI?

    Q) What does Stacks do in Windows?

    Essentialy - yes.

    Um - this is highly technical and to do with memory allocated for interrupt routines. Basicaly it allows you to allocate more memory for such routines, which helps if they turn up more often, or use more resources than 'normal'. (The definition of normal here has changed fairly rapidly over the years).

    Like Harry said very technical but the best example of a stack is the un-do and re-do buttons in microsoft word. All your actions i.e. what modifications or letters you type in other words the intructions are each placed in a stack the first thing you did in your document is at the bottom and the last thing you did is at the top so stacks are FILO - First in Last Out so everytime you click re-do the last intruction is popped (removed) from the stack.

    Got another question to ask about Windows 95 OS, not sure if it should go here in A+ because I am using for the A+ exam or under the software section???
