I'm not talking about user perception, but unattended operation as a file 
server.  In that capacity, NT 3.1 is very slow compared to later releases.
My advice stands: NT 3.1 is completely unsupported by Microsoft, it has huge 
and well known security holes, and the components which will be most heavily 
stressed in a server are peformance bottlenecks.  It is reasonable to use NT 
4.0, and it is also reasonable to use NT 3.5 in a network server, but I think 
using NT 3.1 is a clear and obvious mistake.
