Hello,

I think that the results of this program need to be taken with a pinch
of salt! The program is essentially a database containing a list of
compatibility issues. Thus just because the program does not appear in
the list, it does not mean that it is compatible with Windows 2000. It
is much more likely that the program has simply not been tested. This is
especially true of programs like TMG which are unlikely to have been
tested by Microsoft.

The program is useful for highlighting definite incompatibilities with
both hardware and software but a system which passes this test can not
be guaranteed to work when upgraded to Windows 2000.
