    <flamebait>IT managers who have made the decision to use MS Windows 
(especially the server lines) deserve the productivity of their people 
using only VBScript as a scripting language and are unworthy of 
receiving the benefits of Python.  IT managers who do not know the 
difference among the different Windows lines deserve the productivity of 
their people using only batch scripts and are doubly unworthy of 
receiving the benefits of Python.  References to Windows versions of 
Python should be removed from the Python site altogether.

Seriously, it could just be that the page just hasn't been updated 
lately.  Windows 95 _did_ come before 2003 server.
