I think you'll find that eventually all security keys will be with some other third party. I dont really see a problem with it - for home users you'll probably be able to run unsigned programs so it wont make any difference there. For companies no prompts on unsigned software will be good as they wont be sued for people using Kazaa...

Linux will have to come up with something pretty good soon if it wants to get people away from Microsoft - its got be become easier, friendlier, more commerically aware and work with all the latest hardware.

Apple would be better if it wasn't so expensive...

Do you think I'd be able to copy cmd.exe to LH with out getting that "incompatible dos version" error? I can't use a PC without DOS, unless I'm in Linux. I use DOS programs all the time: Netstat, Edit, Ping, etc.
Someone said something about being sworn against updating? I'm still using win98SE! I can't stand winXP! All those "pretty" graphics!
If they take DOS away, I'll NEVER update!

I need an animator!!! HELP ME!!

Those 'pretty' graphics can be disabled.

Indeed - much like the extra in XP now.

Well XP is a long way from 98, less reboots, less crashes, far more stability in general. I'm hoping LH will at least be able to compare...and I'll probably try to use it first, before i buy it.

Yeah, I know, I only have one game. Yeah, I know it sucks. But I made it! Me!
