At the risk of prolonging an exceptionally off-topic thread... if you run 
the (deprecated) MS-DOS command interpreter in Windows XP (command.exe) 
rather than the Win 2K / XP CLI (cmd.exe), you should not be surprised when 
command.exe tells you that it is what it is -- a version of the MS-DOS 
command interpreter for Win 2000 / XP.

If you run cmd.exe on Win 2K (I don't have XP), you get:

C:\>cmd /?
Starts a new instance of the Windows 2000 command interpreter

CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]
     [[/S] [/C | /K] string]

And now, back to our regularly scheduled thread about whether IPv6 will 
ever take off.

Cheers,
