[THIN] Re: Profiles

That's true. A decision would have to made as to what apps would be
grouped to a specific OS. But I think the original question was
concerning different apps on different OS's and the profile was causing
issues while using NFuse.

I see a small flaw in this plan. Lets say I am logged onto a W2K server
and make an outlook change and then log out. Then I log back in and am
now on an NT server. My profile from the NT server profile store will
not reflect the outlook change.

Am I looking at this incorrectly?
