Tivo is actually very aware of privacy issues. Anytime it makes a change to it's privacy policy, however minor, it sends a email to its subscribers explaining what the change is, and why it was made. You can't say that about many companies.
Who would use this? How about the people that can't get dsl or cable? Or people that want wireless access away from their home? I'd love to be able to get to the internet from my local park.
What the hell are you talking about? I've made hundreds of mp3s with EAC + Lame on my windows box, and those mp3s are playable on ANY machine. The same goes for DIVX movies that I've made.
You only have to reactivate windows for a very major upgrade, such as a new motherboard. Its a quick and painless process to do so.
Office XP documents can be read just fine by Office 2000. At least in my experience, YMMV.
I'm no lover of Microsoft, and I have the upmost respect for all you guys working on alternative OSs, but sometimes I think some of you guys are a little "ungrounded in reality" when it comes to Microsoft.
I think 2 gig Access databases are your problem, not WindowsXP. Or does it crash when you are doing other things besides Access?
If it does, I'd recomend looking at your hardware cause WinXP doesn't crash 5-10 times a day on its own.
BTW, I love your email address:)

Do you have anymore info about running OS/2 under Virtual PC? I don't see it as a supported operating system.
