But it makes sense: everyone else who has tried this is an eager Windows beta tester or a Python Windows developer, so all their system files are likely up to date. Windows only makes you reboot if it has to *replace* a system file with a newer one from the install (unlike Unix, Windows won't let you "unlink" a file that's in use; that's why they have to replace popular system files during the reboot, *before* Windows proper starts up). > The regression tests passed in console mode.

Won't be fixed for 2b1, maybe by 2.0. > Haven't tried the uninstall link, though. It will work -- kinda. It doesn't really uninstall everything on any flavor of Windows. I think BeOpen.com should agree to buy me an installer newer than your Win95 prerelease. > don't-ask-me-any-questions-about-Windows'ly y'rs I was *going* to, and I still am. And your score is going on your Permanent Record, so don't screw this up! But since you volunteered such a nice and helpful test report, I'll give you a relatively easy one: which company sells Windows? A. BeOpen PythonLabs B. ActiveState C. ReportLabs D. Microsoft E. PythonWare F. Red Hat G. General Motors H. Corporation for National Research Initiatives I. Free Software Foundation J. Sun Microsystems K.
