I see it on Ebay, but beware... There are security flaws that were never resolved.

NT4.0 too flawed to fix ? official

In short, don't put any company at risk by using this since... the server can just vanish if exposed to the internet.

Ebay is online. As you may or may not know, Microsoft has not offered any OS for sale and download via the internet.

But take care about NT 4.0 since the security hole is well known and ... exploits are ready to wipe your server out if you expose it to the internet. I feel it's worth repeating since some don't understand the severity of the issue.
