What I don't think W2k has is a no-kidding good old
DOS prompt, for those days when you just gotta
flash the bios or play that old DOS Wing Commander.
That's criminally negligent (at best) IMO, because
King Bill is hawking their premier OS, and you
gotta boot another OS to configure the machine with.

Spots,

I just loaded a WK2 Beta3 on a spare machine this weekend. The command prompt is still there. I found it in the Accessories menu and it appears to work just like it did on previous versions of NT.

Regards,

Jim

Actually sounds very appealing to me. This should take $Bill to the $200Billion mark, eh?
