To reiterate: The difference is shutdown. If TCPIP services are needed for successful shutdown, then the product MUST be shutdown before TCPIP services go away. Or there needs to be a lot more code to test that IP services are always available and to handle a graceful shutdown in the absence of TCPIP.
