Hasn't MS desupported NT, as well as Windows 9x? Windows 2000 & 2003 are the
current, supported versions. I would expect vendors to desupport NT as well.

BTW, having received a full refund from my Dale Carnegie training, I had a
habit of asking people what versions of Windows or Office they were running.
Were their versions older, I would ask them what year it is. After a couple
of iterations, I usually got a polite and embarrassed laugh. OTOH, feel free
to email me privately about my Windows 2003 Server, which I run on dual
Pentium 100s, but with plenty of memory. 2003 on dual PIIs or Pros will only
use one CPU, although MS blames this on an Intel discovery that TLBs may
fail on such systems running more than 4GB (!) of RAM. It's interesting what
gets left behind as time marches on.
