   It's wrong anyway. Read this Technet article to verify: http://t

   I'm very reluctant to W8 myself. Tried the new Office 2013 today on a spare   
   system here, full Metro GUI, horrible.... I will stick with W7 for quite  some   
   time on most of my systems. :-)   
      
   Still, Windows desktop software is not suitable for hosting BBS systems. BBBS   
   runs well on Windows NT 4.0 server, 2003 server and also on 2008R2 (64 bit)   
   server, except for the ftp issue which I never bothered to figure out, and a   
   few other issues (Shelling and DOS doors). MS desktop systems has a limit to   
   how many simultanious network connections it can handle (max 10 on XP, 20 on   
   W7), and that may very well be part of Rudi's ftp issue with his BBBS on XP?
