I was wondering the same thing about Dew. I guess it is better his computer has troubles then him.

Speaking of computer troubles... After seeing my (granted older) computer slow down I went through the obligatory reformat and reinstall a bit ago. I came to a big realization, that XP Service Pack 2 does something really bad to performance! I think it is something related to svchost and how it does auto-updates. I figured a work-around that helps in that I turned off auto-updates and manually do them when I want my PC to slow to a crawl :).

I am not a big conspiracy theorist but if I were in Microsoft's shoes and I was coming out with a new OS and wanted everyone to upgrade what better way then to make them dissatisfied with their current environment... Since SP2 was an update most people did what better way. Of course I am not a conspiracy theorist but perhaps Microsoft had some of their 2nd tier programs work on this aspect.
