Re: Re: Ann: 6.0.3 Release

Most perplecing, because it isn't picking up anything on my live data.

But interestingly well remembered on the 5.2. I had forgotten that XP EM64-T
is based on the Windows 2003 kernel.

That causes an extenstion to an old problem - differentiating between XP x64
and 2003 x64, Vista x64 and Windows Server 2008 x64.

So yet again the credibility of the results is called into question.

Apologies to the group for the accidental double-posting yesterday.
