You have to explicitly choose that option. Are you suggesting we shouldn't be able to choose that? I'm not a big fan of trusting MS patches, as they tend to break things periodically...On Oct 27, 2006, at 8:47 AM, Michael Beckmann wrote:I think there is a problem where a version of XP downloads

For anti-competitive behaviour, maybe. For copyright infringement, perhaps.
But for attracting crime? For discriminating against owners of illegal

If you win, of course, you might take on php,
