NOTE: The above excerpt is not an official written license agreement for any Microsoft or Microsoft Press product. There are other changes to the license agreement wording that are not listed here.

For the correct Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Resource Kit license agreement, please refer to the Windows NT 4.0 Server Resource Kit license agreement.
