Huh? You've got to be joking.

Many of the *really large* enterprises around (i.e. with 40k+ PC's, etc)
are still running WinNT 4, due to the migration issues with upgrading.
Aka, Too Many Things Break when they move to Win2k, etc.

Although MS no longer considers WinNT 4.0 to be a supported platform,
there are *lots* of big places still running it.

That's part of the reason some of the bigger corporates are looking for
MS alternatives.

Regards and best wishes,
