Hi Ravi,

I can't see anything preventing you from inserting "Windows 2003" into
this map, e.g.:
_osTypeMap = (
    ( "nt", r"(nt)|(Windows NT)|(Windows NT 4.0)|(WindowsNT)|"
           r"(Windows 2000)|(Windows 2003)|(Windows XP)|(Windows CE)"
),
    ( "dos", r"(dos)|(Windows 95)|(Windows 98)|(Windows ME)" ),
    ( "mac", r"(mac)|(MacOS.*)|(Darwin)" ),
    ( "None", r"(None)" ),
    ( "posix", r"(.*)" ), # default - posix seems to vary mast widely
    )
Since Jython is running on a java virtual machine, it should also run
on  Win3k.

Best wishes,
Oti.
