Description

In the Remarks section, within the blue highlight area marked "Important" - this text appears:

"You *can only* create applications using this namespace under the *Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 platforms*. Creating a transaction under the Windows 98 and Windows ME platforms throws a PlatformNotSupportedException ."

If this is the latest documentation, and I have selected the .NET Framework 4.6.2 - then it would seem that the text above should either change wording from "can only" to something more like "is supported on" and the platforms should be updated to also add something like [...insert platforms here...] "and later."

Proposed text:

"You can create applications using this namespace under the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 platforms and later. Creating a transaction under the earlier platforms (e.g. Windows 98 and Windows ME) throws a PlatformNotSupportedException ."

Please use your better expertise and editorial skills to craft a better wording than my suggestion.
