Actually, it fails on my NT workstation also:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in ?
  File "e:\python20\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 72, in GetObject
    return Moniker(Pathname, clsctx)    
  File "e:\python20\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 87, in Moniker
    moniker, i, bindCtx = pythoncom.MkParseDisplayName(Pathname)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None)

Just FYI, I haven't tried to debug it.
