It's not. A MSFT written game (forgot details) for Win98 which exactly met WinNT 4.0's specifications wouldn't make it past its splash screen.

IIRC, DirectX on NT 4 never made it past version 2, so it's not surprising that a game written by MS (and hence one that probably relied on the latest DirectX) wouldn't work.
