Greg, this sounds like the kind of feature that MSFT includes in more
expensive versions and excludes from the cheaper ones. I used to be an
MSFT zealot in the 90s. I convinced an all Mac company to buy me an NT
machine because it was supposed to network with Macs. After about a
week of banging my head against it I realized I needed the more
expensive version of NT. The employer refused and the machine became a
dedicated workstation for dealing with Zip disks for MSFT using
clients.

If you have a need to do some light weight MSFT stuff like formatting
a drive, testing in IE, or using a periphial... TinyXP is "free"
