Hi Preston,
No, not that one. It does mention a message that says that it may not work.
But, there was a show stopper at one time that would - as far as I
remember - abort the Windows install/upgrade half way through. This left
your previous version of Windows inoperable, as well as not completing the
installation of the new version. I think it happened during Novell's tenure
and recall a message on the CompuServe forum saying DO NOT upgrade to
Windows 3xx! A couple of weeks later - maybe less - they posted a patch
(like the one we all waited for foe Win9x) that fixed that and a few other
things at the same time.
Thanks anyway.
Regards
Mike Petrie
