I daresay that when it comes to the expertise of those on this list within the 
context of computer knowledge and ability none of us would be classed as 
“consumer level.”

That doesn’t make those “consumer level” operating systems.  Both those OSes 
were “intended” for business clients.

Huh.

I ran NT4 Workstation, and especially Win2k, at home, in preference to Win9x.

Your pattern has lots of holes in it - namely those in-between SPs, and all of 
NT (3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4, and all of the SPs - NT4 SP2, anyone?)

Dos 3.3 - good

Windows 98 w/sp3 - good

I see a pattern

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER

I certainly don't have time to monitor the content of e-mail sent and received 
via this account for the purposes of ensuring compliance with anyone's policies 
and procedures. I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some 
politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails 
or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, 
in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, 
anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified 
or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of 
this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by 
the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted 
for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended 
sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most 
certainly be hung, drawn and quartered.

I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been 
sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't 
responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm 
glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are 
expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of 
expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that 
statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an 
opinion-expressing service. In the event that I did, this discourse would 
provide no guarantee that I would do it anyway, but I don't, so I won't.

This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended 
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. If 
you are not the intended addressee, or the person responsible for delivering it 
to them, aside from the fact that you've clearly got some level of unauthorised 
access to their account or are at least engaged in some sort of fraud, I'm 
obliged to tell you that may not copy, forward disclose or otherwise use it or 
any part of it in any way. To do so may be unlawful, and as you're already 
breaking the law, I am sure that bombshell makes you quake in your boots and 
turn yourself over to law enforcement immediately. If you receive this e-mail 
by mistake, please advise the sender immediately. That would be me, and as I am 
clearly prone to sending emails to completely the wrong person, I should 
instantly be stripped of my status as a technical consultant and sent to do 
something more becoming of my stupidity, such as appearing on Big Brother, the 
X Factor or "insert country name here"'s Got Talent.
