102/104 Win Compatibility
I'm thinking about purchasing 102/104 but have some questions for which I couldn't find an answer. - why is Windows compatibility specified as Vista onwards ? I can't imagine older Windows versions...

I don't need security updates on an (physically) isolated lan, but need to able, with my legacy OS'es (incl Win2000 WinXP Os2Warp), to access the NAS. Normally that shouldn't be a problem (especially WinXP) , but don't understand why Netgear does limit their compatibility list. Probably it's just for legal purposes. In fact it should be possible with "any" device to access the NAS, independent of OS / Version / Security Updates.
