Much as I enjoy using Windows, as I think most of you know, I had not been planning to change from XP to Vista when it is released but just to sit back for a while and observe how others got on with it.
However, the more I read about it, the more I begin to think that Vista is going to be a complete disaster and I think the likelihood of me ever upgrading to it is very remote indeed. |

Following that principle means I'm still running Windows 98SE.  |

Actually I still run a copy of Windows 98 (first edition) on my old PII desktop and think it's great for things like word processing, spreadsheets and internet/email. Unfortunately a lot of present-day software requires XP and something a bit faster than 450MHz ! |

Latest news is that there are now several class action law suits aginst MS in the states, and may be some in the EU too, because the WGA install violates several anti-spyware, trojan, EULA etc laws.

| But surely spying is legal if MS do it, thats how the law works surely. If these cases are upheld then where does that leave the TCPA. |
