Lemme answer you in reverse order. Of course, a Web server can be set up using NT workstation, even under Windows 95.

But of course, if Microsoft has their way you'll still have to get an NT Server to run a Web server. Why? Check this out:

Pick a name for it: a) arm-twisting, b) man-handling, c) dubious trade practices.
