If an OS shows signs of  reasonably wide use, I think you are right -
and I am quite surprised that NT4 doesn't come into that category
(although my own company runs only Win95 on its network).

I am not really surprised W2K is unsupported - as someone who runs two
small companies I can quite categorically state that it will be some
years (if at all) before W2K is used on any machine in this office.
