Its mainly a culmination of all service patches after SP2. I didn't find any improvement nor deteriation of my systems. Always best to let them fix what they broke.

I always thought the end-of-life service packs from M$ tended to break things to entice you to upgrade. I know this was true with win2k, and I've seen more than one report that XP users needed to roll back to SP2.

Wouldn't know - I switched to open source about the time Vista came out. I haven't used windows in about a year.

No, I use Linux - Ubuntu, primarily, but a few other distros as well. The only good things I ever heard about vista were aesthetics. For any given machine, XP is faster and more reliable.

plasma is typically more $, but has deeper clearer picture than lcd. Also plasma is a lot lighter if portability is an issue

LCD. No risk of ghost images, don't get has hot and use less energy ($50 differnce when we switched). The image is great. If you're getting something big plasma has a better picture, but 42" and under its not a huge difference in quality.

What is George Bush's IQ vs. Barack Obama's? Is that public
knowledge? Thanks Mosio!

There was a Presidential IQ hoax email sent around in 2001 "giving" the IQs of past Presidents as well as George W. Bush. It was proven false. I don't think their IQs are public knowledge.

Anyone know what cartoon or tv show the term "wowsers!" came from? Scooby Doo?

Thanks Hawk! If somethin else comes up you'll make a group of confused people happy. We know "zoinks!" :)
nope! scooby doo was "jinkies!". Inspector Gadget's catch phrase was "wowsers". urban dictionary & wiki agree.
