No surprize as NT is very different model and kernel from W9x.

Then again the only stuff that I've found that broke is apps
that wanted to twiddle IO directly. Thats a NoNo for a protected
mode kernel.

I havent played with W2000 but I"ve heard its ok save for

Outlook in all it's forms along with IE4.+ are breeding media for virus.
Someone once asked me what Outlook was and I said, development
shell for ill behaved apps.
