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. -- Paul Terry
