... to service pack three! So it must be XP gets updated to the point where updates stopped. And to answer a previous (related) question, when I built my various PCs, I would buy a discounted windows disc that says "To use with a new PC only". Microsoft seems not to mind reinstalling on new hardware if the old machine is dead and hasn't phoned home. I have done this various times with different versions of Windows. In any case I had to trouble installing XP in VirtualDisk using the old disc. I did have to phone, but never talked to a person. Just had to type all kinds of numbers. I will attempt to not post any more about XP :-) Tim
