no it is because RIS requires PXE. there are plenty of PCI NICs that did
not support RIS (either thru PXE of the rbfg).

I would go with what the documentation for a product says for the exam
every single time. MS also said that the IIS4 SMTP service had to be
installed on an NTFS partition. I have installed it on FAT for sh!ts and
giggles, but I don't think that'd be something I'd do in real life.
(well, I don't think I'd use the IIS4 SMTP service for anything in real
life. there are better SMTP services out there...)
