Are you talking about one in beta? I may have to grovel on this one. I was speaking from memory, but I can't find the newletter I was thinking of - I must have deleted it. I know they were talking about DirectX improvements, but I could be totally wrong about W2K and XP. Sorry. As I said, win98SE is 100% stable for me under win4lin, but I recognise that that is no help if you need to read ntfs directories, or own a copy of w2k but not win98. Sorry if I misled you.
