• Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP have built-in network software. Additional network software is required if you are using Banyan VINES or AppleTalk ADSP. Novell NetWare IPX/SPX client support is provided by the NWLink protocol of Windows-based networking.
Client Support:
• Windows 955, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Home Edition are supported.
• UNIX, Apple Macintosh, and OS/2 require Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) client software from a third-party vendor.
I see there is a mention of Windows 95 in client support which I don't understand but yet it is not listed under operating systems. So it is assumed that SQL 2000 isn't compatable with Windows 95.
You are correct..client support means you can hook up to the server with win 95..but you cannot use it as an underlying OS
