Thread: 8.0 Release notes

I just noticed that we support NT4 according to the draft release notes
at http://developer.postgresql.org/beta-history.txt. In actual fact, it
probably won't work well as Andreas' tablespace/symlink code uses
junction points which are not available on NT4, in addition to which, we
have been unsuccessful in getting the installer to work properly on NT4.

Can we make the supported list 2000/XP/2K3 please?

Regards, Dave

There's still a chance it works because later service packs (SP4 and up, 
al NT4 machines will have that because SP4 fixed Y2K issues) include an 
updated NTFS driver, compatible to W2K.  The worst thing to happen is a 
"invalid control code" message from the api call, which is non-W2K specific.
