TIA r In Europe, after cosiderable legal action which Microsoft lost, in XP it is not compulsory to install WMP. Will the same opt out be available with Vista. I live in au but it is not too difficult to get British versions of software. r |

XP users are just dumb. My two cents. Just WHY would you want to leave the comfort, speed, and safety of Win98SE? As for WMP11 (or whatever version), get VLC and be free. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ -- Disagreements and the usual insults expected and welcomed. |

TIA r Anyone that installs Vista is insane. XP users are just dumb. My two cents. Just WHY would you want to leave the comfort, speed, and safety of Win98SE? I don't understand either. I hestitate to say Win 98 SE gets better every year but, from hearing Vista people say Vista is making XP look good, I may be saying that in a few months. |

No, because by that time, even XP won't be installable on those computers, and we'll be forced to take Vista (or whatever the alleged latest and greatest bloatware op system is then). |

You are right. I guess second hand might do too for big fat experts like us, though. Hopefully, we'll be even twice as fat by then too! |
