Aaah, so it's the same difference as between NT server and NT
workstation. A bunch of registry entries (some of which you'd never
find) and some DLLs that are copied over at install time (much like the
difference between a PDC/BDC and member/standalone server).

In that case, my point is even stronger. MS *have* removed one
particular layer of legacy crud.

thx,
Matt
