OFFICIALLY, Chessmaster 8000 only supports Windows 95/98. This is because, due
to Mattel Interactive's weak financial state, they could only hire enough
testers (8) to test on those two platforms. HOWEVER, two of the four programmers
had Windows 2000 on their development machines, so obviously it works. The
development team tells me that CM8000 will "work fine" on Win 2000, NT and most
likely ME as well (although no testing at all was done on ME).
