Thanks Steve. I'm not running Vista right now .. and I was sitting here reading up on batch files. It occured to me that if Vista didn't register as Windows_NT that a lot of batch files were going to be broken!
I'm a bit confused about batch files and scripting & Vista as yet. I've been reading about this new Microsoft Command Shell (MSH) and was wondering about cmd and so on.

It would make more sense to the average user if they did make it that..

You don't need vista for MSH, i been MSHing for about 1 year (not much over 1 year, but that's how long I've had it installed)
MSH is a new shell, its not like your norm shell with stdin and stdout being strings, its all object based.
it comes with the windows SDK rumor has it that it will ship with the next exchange, not sure if it will ship with vista, maybe longhorn.
