RE: Windows XP preview

For a tenner you get a 180 day limited version though ... still not bad but
you are left with nothing after 6 months.

Having said that I am still looking forward to MicroSnot releasing the XP
version of the Direct Access pack ... hopefully my friend will still be
able
to get me it when it comes out. I have been *VERY* pleased with the
stability of Windows 2000 and if XP builds on that then superb! (Wonder how
XP runs on a laptop?)
