Evan,

the only reason I can see to run windows on a 400 is that I can use OS/400
for backup/recovery.

Windows 2000 backup/recovery sucks.  It just doesn't work.  Period.  NO
exceptions that I'm aware of and even local Microsoft is using 3rd party
backup software....

Eh, that and the fact that I would be hitting my AS/400 via the internal
LAN vs external LAN....

But, then, I've been wrong before....there may be more reasons...:)

.....
