I think, as I've said before, XP will be my last M$ OS. So far, taking advice from here and other security sites, I've rid my computer of Real Media, disabled automatic update and the messenger, and deleted msn messenger. With a good AV and firewall, until something else xp related pops up, I think I've rid myself of most of Bill's better ideas.

My next box will be from Apple. So far, I haven't heard anything about Jobs wanting to control my online computing experience. I don't have the whole story on Palladium yet, but I haven't read a single good thing about it. What's this about "when the license runs out?"

Are there plans to, after you buy it, to have to relicense annually? Isn't paying their inflated prices enough?

Palladium will bomb, except for the zombies who will buy anthing with a Microsoft name on it.
