Dave,

Gerry's right, and it runs a bit better then Microsofts.  Just keep in mind
it needs a souped up machine.  1 gig to run XP translates into at least 2
gigs for a decent XP box and anything else.  4 gigs minimum, but you can
fine tune the memory per machine requirements.  It does work great though.
