Microsoft adjusts XP’s features to comply with U.S. settlement They are even allowing pirated copies to apply the update. "If the plumbing is still there in the operating system, people will still write to it, that’s the essence of the concern,” said Tam Ormiston, deputy attorney general for Iowa. Whats next Tam, sue developers for writing code for Windows?:~ :confused:

Gateway, however, took advantage of a previous software change that Microsoft offered PC makers in the midst of its antitrust scrutiny. Gateway ships PCs with only a trash-can icon on the screen, instead of a screen loaded up with icons for Microsoft products such as its Internet Explorer browser and Outlook Express e-mail program. Still, the default settings on Gateway’s machines feature Microsoft e-mail and Web-browsing programs. Ugh, stupid reporters. THAT IS HOW DEFAULT XP INSTALLS!!! Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

I think you misread the article. The update is NOT going to be available to pirated versions.

It continues to be leveraged.” i know this has been part quoted before but really ... so now its a bad thing that there are standards within the os for us developers to write for??? couldn't tam the man find another job anywhere hey tam when your dog gives you back your brain cell it borrowed to go pee why dont you msay something sensible? :wtf:
