what if win2k is the last license that we're allowed to buy? allowed? what
am i saying!! run win2k if you need clustering or AD. otherwise imail runs
fine on 4.0 workstation with a few minor hacks.
the only way i EVER upgrade nt, is in an emergency, and even then i really
don't upgrade the failed installation: i do a parallel install, and hand
migrate my settings and configuration from the failed original install.
search the m$ kb for the phrase or call windows setup, it's too detailed to
go into here.
