    This was my first serious Windows environment!

    Got my MCP on NT 3.51 and ran quite a lot of higher end software. And 3.51 was a solid OS, with the graphical shell customizable to a high degree. You could make a damn cool looking desktop.

      First machine I could personally afford that ran OpenGL. I started professional work doing PHiGS and then OpenGL in SGI

      For the younger enthusiasts MCP in this era is a Microsoft Certified Professional not the model context protocol (MCP) from the vibe coding world.
