"MBSA can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP
Professional, and Windows Server 2003. The tool can be run over the network against Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server and Windows
NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Workstation, Windows XP Professional and Home Edition systems, and
Windows Server 2003. Note Windows NT 4.0 machines can be scanned locally when running MBSA via mbsacli.exe /hf. MBSA does not
run on or against Windows 95, 98 or Me systems."
