Depends how old. AppSense's AM component can operate back to Windows 2000 I 
think - I can find out if it goes back any further if anyone's interested.

I'm fairly sure SRPs were available in AD GPOs a long time ago though - was 
that under 2000 or 2003? And even NT4 had a list of "allowed applications" you 
could configure in the System Policy Editor, IIRC

Cheers,

Whitelisting has been discussed here many times; for systems dedicated to a
primary task or two, I'd think it would be ideal.  Is there any good way to
do effective whitelisting on the older operating systems?

I suppose you might still run into legal issues and vendor finger pointing;
just curious.
