You can load Netscape form the server but at this stage you can't 
load NT, Microsoft are still working on the cut down Network computer 
version of NT.

As long as when installing NT you format the hard disk to NT's file system 
NTFS and not FAT. With NTFS you can restrict access down to file 
level on the local hard disk the same way you can on a server. You 
can also set the system so that only administrators can change system 
settings, install drivers etc.  If you are running an NT server you 
can also use the policy editor to remove various items from the 
desktop and start menu of selected workstations, network neighbourhood, 
my computer, run, shutdown etc.
