Unfortunately, they aren't an option. The particular app. I'm currently working on is a vertical market app. I can't raise the bar too high with minimum system requirements, and I need to keep the installation as simple as possible. I can't even be sure that they're going to have an NT Server available for me. In fact, our first test site is running Novell.
