Yea, we are in the process of moving our last windows app over to Linux, when 
one of our key vendors comes in and states "Our app *only* runs on Windows 
2000 Server* and all the competition is the exact same.  We have one vendor 
that specified Windows 2000 Server as their requirements.  We put the app on 
Linux and it has been working fine for over a year and now we have a problem 
but they won't support it because it is not running on the requirements, 
can't say that I blame them, but thats the consequences we must pay.
