You forgot the weather! That's one of the most important considerations when patching MS software. Don't ever, EVER do it in foul weather. A good UPS is no protection from the bad juju. After rebuilding our Exchange Swerver from the ground up as a result of Service Packing during a heavy downpour, I've learned my lesson, by God!
SP6 broke everything that required a TCP port higher than 1024, IIRC, that was running with an administrator account.
On our PDC, we had our vendor come in to apply SP3 after it had been out for a couple months. It took 5-6 hourse, and a couple dozen reboots, since explorer would hang immdiately after login. All that could be done was reboot, again, and again, and again, until finally it came up.
SMS 2.0 gave me fits last year, as it claimed it required "NT4 SP4 or later, IE 4 or later." Well, I installed SP6a and IE 5.0 SP1, and the little fucker just wouldn't run. Turns out that the MS "Cumulative Service Packs that contain all updates from previous packs," DON'T contain the MDAC or Y2K updates included w/SP4. Bastards.
You might want to watch out for version 7.0 of that Service Pack. There have been a few reports of the default compiler not playing nice with other such Service Packs.

You'll be glad you did.
Alternately, you

Apparently TechRepublic feels that "looking cool" is the most important thing. It's more important to them that their website is "kewl," rather than having me read it using my browser of choice.

Anyone have a mirror that is not designed to piss non-Microserfs off?
Allchin: I want to know what happened to the source code they sent you!
ESR: I don't know what your talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Redmond.
Allchin: You're part of the Open Source movement, and traitor! Take him away!!!
Microserf: Holding him is dangerous. If word were to get back to....
Allchin: He is of no moment. His stock holdings have plummeted. A company or employee who is not bringing profit to the Empire is un-American....
and we need new innovation and new, original ideas to speed up and destabilize the computer industry.
That's what Gates and Allchin have been saying! But the DOJ and those pesky "freedom of information" people are fighting against the American Way, trying to stem the tide of innovation, increased disk-space requirements and neato-keen animations for deleting files. Microsoft has been about the innovation of everybody buying at least one license for Microsofts every software package upgrade every few years, as far as Bill Gates has been able to recall.
How often do you purchase smokers? It wasn't a cheap drive. I think it was a Yamaha 12x, but it may have been a Mitsumi. I have never had trouble with either brand. Either way, it's a paperweight now.
We had an employee who has since been told to take it outside, who is a chain smoker. It didn't do much to the PC itself (6 yrs. old), but the CD-ROM drive died within a year. It made wonderful grinding noises, IIRC.
Stonethrow Glasshouse, spokesperson for the Internet Advertising Bureau, clarified their stance on "Pop-Up Ads." Speaking with reports for CBS (Completely Boring Schills), he stated,
"Due to the vast lead in Internet profits held by pornographic web sites over not-smutty websites, we are suggesting the pop-up ad as the be all, end all of advertising. Visit your run-of-the-mill urine-drinking web site, and you'll be inundated by a glorious procession of advertising bliss, running the gamut from penile enlargment to bestiality. These windows open faster than the eye can follow, providing a fast, subliminal injection of images!"
By the end of this statement, Mr. Glasshouse was panting, no doubt as a result of his enthusiasm for his chosen profession. Once he regained his composure, he closed with,
"Just imagine the ramifications for printer toner sales, weight loss drugs and money-making schemes!"
Raise your hand if you go into these "stores" expecting expert advice from the salespeople. Not many, I expect. At Best Buy or CompUSA these people are easy to spot, since they approach you and ask if you need help. Dead giveaway right there, as the average Best Buy floor walker takes more than a minute to figure out what that ringing noise is when next to the phone.
These people are easy to spot, and easy to ditch. I just tell them EXACTLY what I am looking for, then they have to go and call the company for whatever product their flogging to get definitions and instructions. Gives me time to leave the store without making a purchase.
Sleazy, stupid, underhanded and annoying. That sort of behavior does make me walk out of the store, and go next door to Circuit City, who, although involved with the Divx crap, has never whored themselves to me like this.
If you want to go cheap, and don't care about the actual "mixing" of sound, which it sounds like you don't, stop into The Shack and get a handful of 1/8" stereo patch cables, some Y-splitters, and a long extension cable. Run patch cables from each sound card to a "splitter-farm", then the long extension from the "farm" to your speakers/headphones. You will probably experience some sound degradation, though.
A spokesperson for Microsoft quantified the corporations position today: "It turns out that Corel was worth less than half of what we paid for it. We should have known, the way they backed down on their licensing on Corel Linux last year. No company that will allow its IP to get out of iron-handed control can be good for the software industry or America in general. We thought they had products worth assimilating, but well, at least we threw a wrench into that whole WordPerfect for Linux thing, and if this deflects any inquiries into our monopoly, so much the better. We aren't giving up WaterWorks, though."

You don't have to make them too blurry, though. One cornfield looks much the same as another, at least to me, and what else is there in Iowa?
Make sure you claim to have patented the tech you use, and charge a large fee to get the details.
