Sorry, but which enviroments are you talking about? You mean third parties? I
don't remember the last third party that specified that has to be Windows
Professional, usually they just say XP, the reason is because the KernelNT is
the same.

Regardless of that, third parties doesn't really matter, since the same happens
with Linux. Yea most people will say it only runs with Red Hat enterprise, but
we know that the reality is that it can run on any Linux.

So if the profile goes at how many support deals we got from third parties, then
it really doesn't matter on what you actually get for your money but what the
company gets with your money.

This is what beats the Linux is free as beer concept because the support is
embedded with the OS, but it doesn't really validate the technology.Since
Windows doesn't have anything anyway when you buy it. Linux has enterprise
ready Apache MySQL PHP SendMail FTP-server and hundred of software it doesnt
matter if its Mandrake Move or Red Hat enterprise.
