I was careful to say that NT, the kernel, was designed for B2, but with 32-bit Windows subsystem would be C2. NT with another subsystem could get B2 certification, but a B2 Win32 subsystem would result in a very un-useable system. B2 would defy today's Clipoard, DDE, OLE, Drag & Drop and other features. Users like these features in a PC operating system! Alistair Banks Systems Division, Microsoft.
