I approve of Steam. It's made getting patches for the game much easier and any problems I've had where quickly sorted by the support department. Also means that I don't have to go searching for those potentially scratched CDs every time I reinstall (which is fairly regularly).
"except the game box, that runs 98se"
Gaming on 98se? For modern games, thats near impossible. If you enjoy playing the same games over and over and not switching to any new games, then by all means stick with 98se. I want to be able to play modern games, new games to keep me interested. New games come with new engines which, surprisingly enough, won't be working with old hardware or software
"...WGA..."
I've never had a single problem with WGA on any of my machines. Neither have any of my friends or relatives for that matter.
"..stupid, graphics heavy UIs"
If you dont like it, turn it off! I enjoy the nice aesthetic look of Vista's UI. You could compare it to buying a Kitchen, you could but that Stainless Steel kitchen, practical but not ascetically pleasing, or alternately you could go for that nice marble topped wood kitchen which is pleasing on the eyes. In the end, it's down to personal preference, and I prefer looking at something that is pleasing on the eyes.
This is great news - with Vista's previous arrangement of reinstallation, I was seriously considering staying with XP. Now, i'm happy to say that I will be switching to vista. Great work Microsoft, thanks for listening to us for once!
It's good to see some people still play this classic! Of all the games I have ever played, Transport Tycoon has been the one that is most replayable!
I would suggest having a look at OpenTTD, an open-source version of Transport Tycoon with many more useful enhancements than the orginal - http://www.openttd.com/
Microsoft might not include enterprise support freely, but there are many places out there that will help you with your problem. There are so many more free 'support' websites out there compared to OSS.
I'll agree, Pocket IE is absolutely awful. However, Opera have released their browser in a PPC format, it's not free but it's the best browser i've ever used on a handheld device, rendering the webpage perfectly.

Would be even funnier if those adverts actually did mention the NY Stock Exchange, as opposed to the London stock exchange which featured in the ad.
