: yes but there is win2000

  Win2000 is more WinNT than Win9x. It's made more for the same uses as NT
is rather than for games and such. I think that many win9x games don't even
work in Win2000.

  Of course Linux (and other free unix systems) support multiple processors
and still there is no multithreaded povray for them.
  PVM-pov exists no more, and even when it existed it didn't work with
radiosity.
  Multithreading has also many other problems. It's more problematic than
it may sound. I wrote an entry in the VFAQ about this.

  Another thing is that since it's not made by the povteam, this version will
always be one step behind the official version.
