Yes, this is very OT but there is some very scary things being planned or already in place by MS that I think everyone here should know about since it concerns your computer security and privacy, which if you use XP or win 2000 has already been breached. A bit from the quite long article - "To support all this, the Microsoft EULA (End user license agreement) you have "signed" (by the act of using Windows XP or by downloading recent Service Packs and security fixes) specifically states that Microsoft has the right to inspect software on your PC and to change or disable that software as they wish, without notice to you, and without liability to Microsoft, to protect copyrights (including their own). This means Microsoft has complete administrative rights to your PC - home or business" The whole thing is at www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html The scary stuff starts below- The Microsoft "Road Ahead" and more so under- Longhorn - Big Changes for Windows. This is rather scary to me and I'm a Mac user!

Why shouldn't speech be free? Very little of it is worth anything.
