    Computer World[^]:

    Implores customers with technical know-how to help friends and family ditch Windows XP, but isn't that Microsoft's job?

    I don't know, but I've been told. Windows XP is plenty old.

      Aren't there battle-hardened Vista Vets out there screaming for revenge against Microsoft? They'd be willing to kill anything by Microsoft after having been ravaged by that pus-filled, halitosis spittled, bubonic plague organism called Vistaberculosis.

      If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

          Ha!  Guess what I did last night?  Installed a clean version of XP Pro on an ageing Dell laptop.  Runs like a charm!  True story. /ravi

            You're not still running Windows Update? Must have a great Internet connection ;)

              I am.  Wiped the machine clean and installed from scratch + all updates.  An oddly satisfying experience, followed by half a bag of Tostidos Rounds and spicy salsa, which really hit the spot at 2:00am. :thumbsup: /ravi
