As you say, it's all about trust, and unfortunately as Whil mentioned, M$ lost many people's trust with their "big brother" style of updating your computer when you said "no thanks" and by the anti-piracy measures that incorrectly labeled good customers as pirates. Charlie Coleman's predictions of long ago DID indeed come true with regards to M$'s "lockdown" measures. Thankfully, M$ has backed off of some of them to a lesser degree. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
