I'd not expect to ship anything externally, since we run stuff here as a 
service to our customers. If I moved an app from Delphi to Lazarus and 
it didn't run on NT4, it would be unfortunate that I couldn't do a 
direct comparison but in view of the OS's age hardly surprising.

If I couldn't run an app on W2K I'd be slightly less happy, because as I 
understand it that is the last version of Windows which doesn't need to 
be registered/unlocked.

Our preferred target is unix, but there are some things which the 
windowing architecture of Windows make easier.
