More details, all bad news for the people chomping at the bit wating for the Win2K stuff in the Universal/Professional subscription:
It ain't in the January release!!!!!
WinNT was shifted to a new 32 bit software archive CD set. It did not arrive with the base set of CDs; probably just on the truck, since the Web site shows as shipped.
The following appears on the highlights page for the February shipment:
