When I saw it reading registry keys (regmon) it had NO business reading Poster didn't say that he was upset about it reading the registry, just upset about it reading parts that were completely unrelated, such as the Windows activation key. I'd have to say that I agree, if something needs to look in my registry for bots or whatever, it better stay away from the registry entries that don't matter.
I've been running the Business version of Vista 32-bit since January and I've only had a couple apps not work properly. All the games I've tried have worked (some with a crash here and there, but that's nothing out of the ordinary), most of the productivity software I've used is just fine, and the random other stuff hasn't been a problem.
All the people that keep saying "wait 6 months for it to be fixed" forget something: 5 years after the release of XP, they were still fixing it. If you're not going to adopt until the OS is "fixed", then you've got a long wait ahead.
It's pretty easy for me to believe that NetZero has a pretty rough cancellation process. I interviewed with a company that did tech support for Dell as well as doing NetZero "Customer Retention". The goal of the retention folks was to keep the person on the line for as long as possible, wearing down their resolve in ways most likely banned under the Geneva Convention. Also, there was no team based work in retention: it was all individual, forcing the workers to be even more cutthroat.

I'm all for curiousity and discovering stuff, but this sounds really useless.
Result results results, eh? Science for the sake of science isn't good enough anymore?
