Now that M$ have stopped AutoPatcher from 'doing their thing' it looks like alot more Windoze Update for us all ! Maybe I will slipstream SP3 when it come out, that way it's easier when formatting. When is SP3 due out? Anyone know? ;)

Looks like we're OK till 2014 then !? Don't fancy Vista really - New M$ OS out in 2010 or so I have heard online ! May try Linux before any of this or just pack it all in and concentrate on a cheaper hobby (if there's such a thing) ? ;)
