Correction: Windows XP Compatibility
By Ray Finch

Roger Wiegand e-mailed me and pointed out that "If you look under the hood
you will find that XP is basically WIN2000 with a gussied up UI for the
consumer market. It is built on the NT-->2000 lineage, not the
DOS-->WIN3-->95-->98 platform".

I stand corrected.  Roger is right XP is NT/Win2000 under the hood. It is
Millenium that has the Win 9X lineage and is not part of the NT line of
succession. This is what happens when you try to argue the finer points
of computer operating systems at 3:00 in the morning :).

Many thanks to Roger.
