LOL HP and its loser notebooks and desktops. They still ship all their notebooks with the optical drives limited to MultiWord DMA mode instead of UltraDMA mode. Be careful of buying HP notebooks.

In answerBecause every security maker would call foul and just rip more money from the MS monolith.

I think I’ll still continue to use Vista and will not make the switch when Windows 7 is officially launched.

The Windows 7 BETA has been tried and in this case it has failed.With a new motherboard (ASUS), new dual core cpu (AMD 64) and new memory (Kingston 2Gb) the 7 BETA blue screened several times per hour (memory dump).Thinking perhaps it was a hardware problem, installed Ubuntu 8.10. No problems at all.When 7 worked, it worked well. I failed to see much advantage over Xp, if any.

* Microsoft has to earn its trust after the screw-up it did with Vista* The whole world has been taken hostage by Windows* Windows is introducing ‘Anti-virus’ and ‘Anti-spam’ programs to ‘defend’ its own O/S from attack. If they are too smart, why did they not incorporate them in the O/S in the first place???
