Sure, NT is fine, but W2K DHCP is so broken that use of W2K as a domain controller used to be *banned* at MIT! With SP2, it is now merely "not supported" because it interferes with other DHCP servers on the network (!). http://web.mit.edu/is/help/win2000/nodc.html So yes, it is quite fair to blame MS for DHCP brokenness.
