Windows NT4.0 has been tested under the red book spec published by the NCSC. That means in effect, NT is C2 compliant in a stand alone environment. Howver, NT does NOT comply with the orange book spec which defines additional requirements when the machine is used in a networked environment. It *IS* possible for an operating system that is on a networked machine to be C2(Orange Book) compliant. Microsoft has never stated that it is C2 compliant on a network, however their page about C2 and NT is poorly worded, and effectively discounts the importance of the Orange Book spec. It would be fun to get ahold of the specs from the NCSC. -Jim
