If it's a OEM version of WindowsXP, as in: preinstalled on the machine when you bought it, then probably you will need to purchase a new license coz this one was issued for that specific processor.
On the bright side, if you never used your rescue cd's, chances are you can use those to reinstall your machine without having to buy a new license.
Or you can just call the activation hotline you bought yourself a new processor coz the old one had a melt down, they may just help you;)
an encrypted USB stick is gonna be an extremely useful tool for medics, forensics, etc. That is, if they can crack the code by the time you bite the bullet. Otherwise it's just gonna be a useless piece of plastic you've been carrying around giving you that nice and warm "I feel safe" feeling.
Seriously, what's the use of encrypting the stuff you *want* other people to be able to read?
In that case, opening a document like that won't get any better when you try in OpenOffice.
Also, having IT make a descision about which Office suite best suits the clients needs might not be the best thing.

So, basically you're saying you don't need a Sue to repair a pc?
Linux only comes in one simple flavor. Ow, hang on...
Or we could patent the /. effect and sue Amazon if they ever get /.'ed?
