It works not so much under NT, as NTFS. NT will run on either a FAT
filesystem, or if you're not braindead you can set it up on the NTFS
filesystem, which supports long names. NT's own files are 8.3 to
support use on a FAT, but as long as you are using NTFS on a drive it
should store long filenames quite happily. Do not try this on a FAT
floppy, as it will get you precisely nowhere!

As to when will NT 5.0 be released, the answer is probably "when MS
Marketing Department sees a good sales reason to make the next
incrememntal release a major version number"... ;-)
