I still have IE 6. Only use it for windoze updates(none of that auto-update crap either. Pick and choose). Hopefully the XP SP3 does not upgrade it. But I'm chicken to do the Service Pack update until at least 2 more weeks.  icon_pale
My Vista Basic box is ready for the updates to SP1. But Vista box does not have any important stuff on it.  Other than the Blue Screen of Death add-on that Microsoft so graciously added as a feature.

i found a vista simulator for xp.

first, you activate all the bells and whistles xp comes with.

 You forgot. Make sure you pay 3 times more than what its really worth. Change your settings so even the user has to jump through hoops to get access to your files.

No probs. with Sp3, just built a slipstreamed Xp/Sp3 disk, you don't need Sp1a or Sp2
working great , but still takes some real estate though ,  Evil or Very Mad but I guess not as much as Vista , guess I will skip that one till 7 comes out ,
