Given that MS can/may change feature lists between Final Beta and Golden
Master (eg Windows95?) the only certain way to know is to *actually* install
it and test it.
Vapourware is a big problem in the MS world.
I do know that NT4 does NOT support ASIP - personal experience and lots of
BSODs.
Again, talking to Windows technicians may NOT shed any light - trying to
find Mac friendly/knowledgable technicians a rare. The MCSE I talked to the
other day, started his career on Macs.
So when it comes to support or a knowledgable technical community - Netatalk
may be far in advance of what MS Win2k can offer.
