Assuming this is the seti necessary for a P4 on XP pro, why can't they just
name them according to processor or OS.
tnx.

It does, in a way--Windows 2000 is NT 5.0; Windows XP is NT 5.1.

As far as processor, that executable will run on 386SX/DX, 486SX/DX/DX2/DX3,
Classic Pentium, Pentium MMX, Pentium II/II Xeon/III/III Xeon, P4/P4Xeon,
Itanium, K5, K6, K7, Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Opteron, Cyrix MII,
and a few more.

That's at least 23 distinct CPUs. Which one should they name it after?
