The installation can continue and the apps reinstalled with a 2k - xp upgrade. With vista you have to quit the upgrade uninstall and then reinstall after. I never had any windows xp upgrade from 2k fail due to a piece of software that was installed. I have had a few apps not work but that is to be expected.
Gee do you think? One obvious sign of this is that when you upgrade from XP to Vista under RC2 you need to uninstall all antivirus programmes to have the vista upgrade to work. The good thing is vista does run under VM Ware.:) Looks like I can keep linux as my primary desktop os for another 5 years.
Why bother at all? The next breathe M$ makes is that Vista is going to be out very soon since RC2 is out and is the final release before vista goes gold?
"Could" was the key word.:)
What it could and what it is used for are two totally different things.
Email - Could increase office communications, Does allow easy way for direct multimedia advertising
MySpace - Allow people to share their lives, Does allow easy access for pedophiles to pictures of kids
The list goes on, Copyright companies don't give a hoot about the could, just what it is. and P2P is great for legal distrobution of files, but everyone knows you don't go and install bit torrent clients to share Linux Iso's, well maybe you host a few until they start to slow down your L33T porn collections and Musak philes.:)
I remember a time when there was a piece of software that allowed people to share multimedia files. It was great, you could post legal files that didn't have copyright issues and people could download them watch or listen to them....Then of course they got sued and it got shut down. anyone remember napster? There is a tonne of nudity, profanity, illegal content on Youtube. It won't be long until all videos must be reviewed before being posted, then google will have to pay millions of dollars to people to watch and authorize all the youtube videos before being put on the site.
Just wait youtube will go the way of p2p only it will be google that gets sued this time not the users since google is going to be hosting the illegal stuff.

I find it funny and coincidental perhaps that a first poster got the first post to an internet addiction thread. I wounder how many "\. first posters" are considered addicted just by the ammount of time they spend refreshing the \. web page

Also have to uninstall a few other apps, like Nero, Never needed to do that before with any other windows upgrade.
