Python works fine on Win2k - however, sometimes Windows doesn't <wink>.
There are subtle differences between the platform, and in general,
Python does nothing to hide that. However, in general, stuff will work
fine on both platforms - particularly, moving from 9x->NT will cause
less surprises than moving from NT->9x.
I'm very happy XP is now the consumer OS - getting 9x off the planet is
a good thing.
Mark.
