>Reminds me of my old Trabant, where you had to know a dozen little tricks how to get this or that done. But the sad thing is that, in most cases, in Windows it's by design. Not necessarily the design by Microsoft, but rather the design of Microsoft...

A dozend tricks on a Trabant? I've never noticed that it had that many functions (0,5Mm with it ) :)
O.K. I 've changed cylinder head gasket an open road and squeezed myself from the trunk to the driver's seat because of a damaged lock. My ex once changed head tubes in the backyard (It was worth it. The faces of the neighbours where priceless as we moved away ...) But tricks? I prefer to call it common manual skills.

From time to time I miss this car. In particular if the garage comes to the conclusion that the comp shows nothing. With the Trabant it would need a hex wrench. Agnes would say (-.-)

>Just heard, 2nd or 3rd hand, from a guy who's a tester in Redmond, that when install a windows and opt out of the "send data to Microsoft" - it still sends them. Your having ticked it off is just another datum to send.

But those data will not be processed due to the flag set. /ironic
