Making XP vista-ish is a good thing ???? I think I will pass, I still believe it is more about activation then a better mouse trap. I still HATE playing mother-may I please still use YOUR sw when I change a piece of HW. Sucks. YA boot in, says ya have 3 days, but do not re boot or you are screwed, must activate b4 it will let you log on. Perhaps they should fix this BUG, 3 days does not mean 3 re-boots. fp
