Windows 7 is mostly a marketing play. It should have been Vista SP2 with the usual bunch of very useful cleanups, accelerations and simplifications (i.e. what Vista should have been). However, the name Vista is now such a disaster that they had to change the name.
If it was done soon after the first, it might have been good, even great. But the magic that made BR what it was is long gone. It needs to be left alone.

But its hard to compare bread and vodka to some stupid music.
Means i can download anything i damned well please and they cant complain.
Not that the RIAA has helped release anything worthwhile for decades, but you get my point.

I thought they did change the name.
They do this on a regular basis, but they just don't admit it. If they didn't, service pack 1 wouldn't appear so soon after releases.

Still, a large USB flash keeps you in 100% control.
While the concept is ok, good luck getting drivers for running XP as the host at that point.
Using VDI technology.
And with what limitation?
If its anything like comcast you can burn thru that in no time. Top speed ratings are worthless if you cant actually use it.
You are close, its more like the Post Office reading your postcards, which are 'wide open'.
if we encrypt, then your analogy is more accurate.
Btw, If you send CD's overseas they can do just that. Except they come to arrest you instead of cutting off your mail
Problem solved.
Its not how the scrolls say it ends.
( Thats a "Pretender" reference for you kids )
It used to work on Japanese installs ( NT4 ), but i do admit that was before Symantec bought them.

Lets compare apples to rocks why don't we.
Oh wait, they are virtual monopolies.
Id say its time for freenet, but they that that angle closed due to bandwidth caps.
Yes.
Curious the schedule for it to hit the ports tree.
Ditch the fine, reorg under a new name. Wash, rinse, repeat.
The sequel to 2001 is another good example of why you don't want to do this.

Please, don't ruin another classic.
Hey, ghost is a great product. ( ya, i know they bought it a good decade ago, but all the legacy code is long gone by now )

They are *much* more then antivirus. ( which i agree, sux )
