Yep, I'm certified in NT so I'm aware. I've been using NT at work for four years and to my knowledge, the server hasn't had to be rebooted once. I'm glad that Microsoft is finally putting this kernel into their consumer OS's. I think they didn't before because they wanted to keep supporting all that old DOS software.

"I've been using NT at work for four years and to my knowledge, the server hasn't had to be rebooted once."

You are saying that you've got a production Windows NT Server that hasn't had to be rebooted for 4 years? So, this thing still has SP3 on it? Nobody bothered to install the NIMBDA server patches, or any other software fixpacks? Now, if you have been using a WinNT workstation, and you are utilizing the services of a UNIX server then I can readily believe that you haven't rebooted that UNIX server for 4 years.

You are correct. That was the stumbling block.

...'because they wanted to keep supporting all that old DOS software'...

Does this mean Windows XP does not allow for the usage of any DOS hardware? I currently use Windows 95 and am looking to get a better computer (this one is the last Packard Bell anything that enters my portals). I have several programs in DOS....mainly my Accounting package....I don't want to give it up.
