For what it's worth, I like your naming scheme better. However, it does 
raise a question. (I'm using 5.0.3 standard, not the beta Mac, so this 
may be apples and oranges here) Why does the installer always suggest 
installing unsupported apps in a *new* Win 2000 bottle if 98 works best?

Why does it not use the default bottle? Or at least duplicate its 
settings... Which in my case AFAICT is a Win 98 bottle.

May be picking a nit that does not bother anyone else, but as a beta 
tester for an unsupported app (Forte Agent) I frequently install new 
builds on top of my existing install. And it is mildly annoying to have 
to change this setting every time.
