Re: [PCTECH] Beware of XP SP2 !

Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but I didn't consider that article as 
bashing them for the changes.

I downloaded Mozilla some months ago, it's great. Looking forward to 
Firefox. Nothing wrong with that. Most of us have to pay for our sins, 
one way or another. Now it's their turn, and those of us (that's me too) 
who helped bring them into their dominance.

By the way, I don't like the consumer getting taken for granted by them 
as consumer or IT professional, so I've been gradually moving away from 
the number one domating firm in any area. Methinks I may have to keep up 
somewhat with Windows, but in other areas. OpenOffice.org works okay for 
my home uses, though there's plenty missing I'm used to in MS Office  
Might get StarOffice or some such, eventually. I've started using 
non-Google browsers, too.
