On: Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools

You forgot to check for nonsense keys under

HKLM/software/microsoft/windows NT/current_version/winlogon/notify

keys which don't have one of these as dllname:
crypt32.dll
cryptnet.dll
cscdll.dll
w lnotify.dll
sclgntfy.dll

Anything that loads keys in there I consider the "nasty" spyware cause even in safe mode they will load.

ArcDisk 20GB

On: Portable Storage?

Definately the best storage for the money here. These things are great. http://www.archos.com/products/prw_500455.html If you look around a bit, you could find one about $180. 20GB and not much larger than a MiniDisc.

On: AMD Beats Intel in CPU Sales

PresHOTT is a very misinformed word. The Prescott CPU may have the highest heat dissapation in terms of WATTAGE... but the actual temperature of the Athlon XP is much hotter and is less stable under a constant full load. While I would not mind building an Athlon system for home desktop use. As of today, I would never put an AthlonXP in a mission critical server.

On: First Look At Intel Tejas & Socket 775

actually, windows XP home supports 1 physical CPU AND 1 HT CPU but not 2 physical CPU. Windows XP Pro supports 2 physical CPU and will support HT on BOTH for a total of 4 HT. but will not support more than 2 physical CPU. Windows server 2003 will support many more.
