win4lin doesn't have to support 'nt domains'. It, as has been mentioned
before, runs a copy of Windows under Linux. It supports whatever Windows
supports.
The real question is: Does the versions of Windows (95 / 98 / ME?)
support NT Domain networking?
The answer is: barely.
Finally there isn't actually that much *new* and *useful* about Win4Lin 3.0.
Very little that you, as an end user, would notice I'd wager. Will you
notice support for SMP Linux kernels? Will you notice suport for 2.2.x
and/or 2.4.x Linux kernels? Will you notice support for different Linux
locales and charsets and input methods?
