Paul Thurrots Supersite for Windows
there was something serendipitous about seeing the iMac running Windows 2000.

Here's a link to the page where I found it, it's actually running an unaltered version of Windows 2000 using a Microsoft networking technology that apparantly didn't catch on.

I seem to remember than NT 3.51 would run on PPC chips, no idea about Win2k.

Now that I think about it the iMac was probably running VPC...
I thought that M$ had come up with an unpopular alternative:rolleyes:

If it is just acting as a graphic terminal client to show the program running on the Windows 2000 server, then there is a good chance that the iMac is NOT running the Windows software.
It's running a terminal client program, it is not running any Windows software. The server is most likely running the program and showing it at a remote location.
Even your link says this is probably the case.
Microsoft was also pushing its new Terminal Services, which is now bundled with Windows 2000 Server. This cool feature lets you run applications remotely off a server using Windows clients, dumb terminals, managed PCs, and the like.Should be more Remote Desktop Client info at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/rdc/default.asp
but I didn't find the Terminal Services stuff on a quick check.

because it is an origional iMac, someone could have opened it up and connected the monitor to a computer running Windows 2000. It is possible with the origional iMacs (not the newer ones)
