Routers have come a long time in the last few years it's amazing how much they've changed.

Installed it, it went fine I don't notice much of anything maybe slightly faster.

@DRWAM

Fear sells! I trade off between Avast and Avira for my free AV's I use NOD32 and the new Norton AV on machines I have chosen to get paid protection. Last time we got a serious infection on my kids machine she allowed it to install, it was called PC-Antispyware and it was tough to get rid of. I later found Malwarebytes (also free) which works very well and supposedly gets rid of the fake anti-virus apps. My brother who was still using Adaware paid version got infected, Adaware support remotely logged on to his PC and used Malwarebytes to clean it.

tayme, I would argue that Paul's site hasn't had truly constructive comments for years. As a survivor of the bonch era, it's actually better here now. rj isn't nearly as bad as bonch.

I seem to remember a long time ago, after SP1 was released, that it was mentioned that SP1 would be the baseline required going forward. I think I heard it here, on the SuperSite for Windows (TM).

Thanks Whip, I will check it out. I was very impressed that it was promptly detected and removed from XP. This shows that these more modern protective apps work, and decreases my fear. Vista and Win 7 are even more secure, so my point is that we have less to fear these days. Believe me, some of the ads from HP and other security app companies are a zillion times worse than any Apple ad. I've psoted about them in the past, especially one particular HP security app/feature ad that was used many times on the radio about how fast malware will take down your entire company, in their attempt to sell it to you.

If you are comfortable with the Windows Automated Installation Kit and capturing the installed image and performing a "Generalize" on it, SP2 can be slipstreamed into an ISO with Vista-with-SP1.

>Steady State removes Docs as well.

You should be able to allow access to a USB drive so that she could store documents there.

See, I can be just as foolish and put words and make innuendos about the others here as well as any of you.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that mikegalos has created the alter ego of hamiltonstallings in order to try to deflect some of his idiotic comments behind a false name...

@sharky - "But, what exactly was wrong with lindy's first comment? It was very reasonable. "

It was only wrong to mikegalos, because he seems to thinks that if somebody asks a simple question about Microsoft, then they are blaspheming and if anybody dares to not immediately upgrade when it does not make sense for them or their company then they are wronging Microsoft in some way. Its actually fun to watch mikegalos be foolish!

They give a reason about why its not cumulative. Sounds plausible.

"Like I said, Lindy's comments are right in line with her intelligence level: pre-school."

But, what exactly was wrong with lindy's first comment? It was very reasonable.

Wae got tea-bagged by Lindy. Lindy even quoted the gospel, or um www.microsoft.com

@tayme, Paul invites this K-rap, by dropping snide comments about Apple. I think he does it to drive hits, flame-bait if you will. There are many other Windows and Apple sites that are much more informative with out the "mean girls" attitude, even when talking about the competition. By even bringing up Apple in the snide way he does it shows that it bothers him. Then again maybe its the many predictions he has made (and was totally wrong) in that past about Apple going under that just gets under his skin.

Maybe he should sell the domain name to a more journalistic professional, pro Windows focused site?
