I just happen to stumble across a very good read for those of you out there that are using Windows XP. Ars Technica has a Beta copy of Service Pack 2 and have put up a sneak peak on it. I must say that MS is finally getting on the right track with the new security features. Anything that will help curtail Spam and DoS attacks is a very good thing in my book. |

I like the "Never trust from this Company" feature in the new Internet Explorer. It'll let you finally tell Gator and others to go away and never bother you again. |
