I disagree with the previous posts - You definitely need to test on 2K if the app's going to be used on 2K!

The major problematic area when going from 9x to NT/2K is in security. There isn't any security on 9x, so your programmers may be sloppy and not pay attention to security parameters to API calls. The code works fine on 9x, but chokes with access denied errors on NT/2K.

For example, when the code opens a registry key, it might request KEY_ALL_ACCESS access. That's fine on 9x, but will not work on NT/2K unless the user has admin rights. In general, requesting ALL_ACCESS to anything is Bad because it will break for non-admin users.
