With hindsight I accept that my contribution allowed misinterpretation
by pedants.

If I buy a washing machine which is intended to run off 240VAC/50Hz and
it doesn't work properly for some electrical reason, what do I do.  My
microwave and TV are still working so is it an electricity supplier
problem?  No, I'd probably go and ask the washing machine supplier about
the problem.  I don't think this is unreasonable.  You obviously don't
agree. You would go and complain to the electricity supplier immediately
that a light bulb blows.

Now if it turns out that a) The electricity supply has been misinstalled
on my premises, or the washing machine supplier has told me it might
work - use it at your own risk (This seems to be Demon's line on
Turnpike on NT/W2K) then fair enough more fool me for trying that
configuration.

However, Demon imv are trying to pull a bit of a fast one here if they
are claiming not to support Windows NT (see Malcolm's post earlier in
this thread).  If Turnpike is not intended to run on NT why even bother
evolving from 16 to 32 bit.  If they don't support NT why do they offer
Turnpike as being NT compatible(http://www.turnpike.co.uk/upgrade.html).
If Turnpike is intended to run on Windows NT it seems a logical rational
extension that it should at some point soon be intended to run on W2K.
If there is a difference between what 'support' Demon offer and what
Turnpike is intended to run on then Demon ought to reconcile this.
