- Well it looks like they have vastly different releases of the same
- product. I also have the october beta. I asked my MS rep to send
- both 3.5" diskettes and CD ROM, so I know they have it on floppy.
-
- My CD does NOT have any docs on it, just the files necessary to
- install NT and the supporting files for NT.
-
- I'll have to ask my rep about on-line CD ROM-base docs.....
