Windows Millenium (was Re: Linux as an NT Server replacement)

A mate of mine has played with a beta version of millenium and then promptly
uninstalled it. It still had a splash screen of Win98.

The main problem was the hardware support was negligible with very little
drivers and the Win98 and NT drivers couldn't be used due a major difference
in the MicroPort driver from MS.

That was of course about 3-5 months ago..
