Thats it? er....wasn't that the point of XML? I mean, damn, anybody can create XML content easy as is, and why do they need proprietary services for it? And I don't understand what about it that .net makes so "seemless", and why they named a compiler and operating system version .net.
I am still lost.
EDIT: Also I feel like it will be fun to play shithouse lawyer.
I reviewed the DRM EULA, and microsoft makes you acknowledge that they can put any updates on your system at any time, quite interesting.
On an unrelated note, I consider some content at the microsoft.com domain to be offensive to my political beliefs, so I am hereby configuring my router to block access to it from all computers within my private home network.

eagle, a slipstremed windows xp cd is one where the cd's installation files have already been updated with service pack 1. This means that once you do a clean install of xp with a slipstreamed disk, the updates are already there, you don't have to download anything else or go to windows update. Advantages are driver and software problems fixed in sp1 are in your computer before you install your first program.

yea..
i did it with Wink2 pro ( http://www.bink.nu/bootcd )
basically you rip the cd, apply the updates to it, and re-burn it, so the next time you isntall it you already have the updates
i also did it last night with Office XP SP1 and SP2 ( http://www.viperlair.com/articles/guides/offxpsp1/offxpsp1.htm) (thnx evilone!)
usually system admins who have to maintain a lot of pc's will do this to save time and will also throw any drivers/updates on the cd so they dont have to be downloaded again and again

Actually there probably isnt enough, most of them dont visit the forums and dont moderate like they should. I guess they have better things to do Especially since Marty decided SuperMods were not working out, which is understandable, mods like me who could check any forum are now limited to mod powers in specific forums.
This isnt a bad thing though as the whole Admin/SuperMod/Mod thing was kind getting out of hand so now we just have 3 Admins (Marty, Redah, and Braveheart) and the rest of us are mods or staff members that only have abilities in specific places on the board. This was discussed in detail in the "Staff Only" forum and although Martin had already made his decision, most of us agreed it was for the best anyway. He has done some moving about, like he added me to this forum and IRC Quotes, but they are rarely in need of a moderator as people seem to be behaving, which makes my job easier.
I'm just glad I'm not a mod for Waaay Off Topic or Talk of the Town, cause I tried making some command decisions in there when I could and usually got screamed at for it Of course I've also tried to lighten up since then.
In short its really not all that big of a deal, those who arent moderators usually see it as some sort of power trip but its really not as you are limited to what you can do by the resident forum god, (namely Martin) and the rules he makes, we just try to enforce them and make suggestions to make them better.
