NT prereleases started in 1991

I was not really active in computing back then, so I don't know how widely distributed these releases were, but NT was clearly gestating longer than Win32s.
I was working in IT and I deployed NT 3.1 in production in 1993. I never saw the betas.
Win32s was a small floppy sized thing, and some installed it just for the game, I think.
