Can you give us a break down of the article? From memory (I don't have a subscription either; the article used to be free): Basically, the files on the NTS and NTW CDs are identical (Note that NTS does have some files that are not included at all on the NTW CD); any differences in behaviour or name are determined using a system API which reads some registry keys. The differences in performance are due to registry settings. This used to be easy to switch but Microsoft changed something around SP3 to make life harder for people trying for a free NTS "upgrade".
