PCAUSA does not have hands-on experience with Windows Millennium yet. One
reason for the delay is that Microsoft typically introduces radical new
chances to network components very late in the review cycle. On Windows
2000, software that ran well through B3 was totally broken on RC1.

However, it appears that Windows ME introduces a new "hybrid" NDIS
architecture which is partly VxD/9X-like and partly NT/W2K-like.

This architecture may break some specialty network products.

In particular, it has been reported that under Windows ME MSTCP does not
call the NdisRegisterProtocol NDIS VxD service. This means that NDIS filters
bases on hooking this service will not work on Windows ME.

>>This means that products based on the PCAUSA NDIS PIM sample,
as well as NDIS hooking filters developed by others,
will fail on Windows ME.<<

It also appears that there are some new adapter naming conventions.

There may be other enhancments...
