Otis, you have to be kidding me.
Free Simon Vallor (aka GOBO)?? Are you ****ing kidding me?! The ******* who released viruses after the September 11th attack and then got busted after bragging about it in a chat room?!
To quote you, "Dude" you are hangin on the wrong site.
For the others here, I'm sorry that I'm off the thread subject but when I see **** like this, it makes me insane.
For those who don't know about the clown Otis wants to free, here is a little taste:
Simon Vallor, the man who sent e-mail viruses after September 11th
claiming to be from Microsoft, was jailed yesterday in the heaviest
sentence yet under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
Vallor admitted creating three viruses at his home in Llandudno and was
sentenced to two years in prison for each of three offences, to run
concurrently. Vallor's viruses were said to have spread to 42 countries
and were known as Gokar, Admirer and Redesi. Some of the e-mails claimed
to have come from Microsoft and offered protection against online
terrorism. When opened the e-mail released a virus which interfered with
a computer's memory three months later. The court heard that Vallor was
caught when he boasted of his viruses on internet chat rooms.

thehorse13: completely understandable. Also telling a user to rid of WinXP is also insane because it is a person(s) choice to install or rid of any OS not based on what somebody else thinks. If a person runs Windows, *NIX, OS/2, DOS or whatever is OK as long as it performs the job it needs to. Sheesh.
As for the BSOD, I have only seen Win2000 (and variants) do that maybe twice.
