The .NET System Management Services Requirements

WMI is fully supported under Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Although Windows NT 4.0, as well as Windows 95, 98, and ME provide only a limited support for WMI, most of the examples in this book will run just fine on these platforms. Hence, unless explicitly noted otherwise (there are a few code examples that depend on the software features that are available only under Windows 2000 or XP), you should feel free to compile and run the code on the platform of your choice.
