*********** Windows 2000/XP/2003 Build Process ****************
Building OpenAFS for Windows requires configuring a Windows
development system by installing compilation tools and header files.
-Open AFS Software development can be done on Windows 2000 or XP. The
-target system, where OpenAFS will be installed, should be either
-Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003. The building process is
-controlled by a nmake file that generates the necessary binaries and
-binds them into an install package.
+Open AFS Software development can be done on Windows 2000, XP, 2003,
+or Vista. The target system, where OpenAFS will be installed, can be
+one of:
+
+ * Windows 2000
