Server came out at the same time, you might be thinking about Advanced
Server, which I believe has extra desktop backgrounds and mouse cursors.
Something about working with extra chips in there too somewhere... ;)

Rats. Well, on a good note, in the last couple of weeks I've confirmed a
Linux install over and above the (rather expensive) purchase of Windows
2000. I had to compete with FUD from one of the non-profit group's pro-MS
supporters (who couldn't even see the financial advantage of Linux through
all their smoke and mirrors)...


Win some, lose some.
