Ah... I never mentioned uStuff once for starters.

Y'know, I was actually wondering where all the "uStuff" discussion came from...

Many "features" Windows turns on by default aren't needed by most people. Its much simpler to ASK if you want something turned on then to expect people will turn off what most don't even know is on to begin with.

Correct, this is something a lot of Linux users find refreshing - being given the *choice* of what runs on your system.

I wonder why they have a Windows XP PROFESSIONAL version? Something marketed as professional grade SHOULD act like it. Windoze in hog in a slik dress. The bottom line is its still just a pig

Maybe they assume that XP Pro will be run by corporations so that it's behind firewalls all the time :)
