Jezza as PM? That could be interesting. I'd love to see the Yanks try it on with him.

BTW Growler how on earth did you get a youtube vid to work past our office firewall, confused the hell out of me when the ghostly voice of Clarkson suddenly started playing. 

GROWLERIASATION dear grumpy one, GROWLERISATION.

I have the mental power to defeat all that is bad in this werld. 

Alright, I'm going to set you a test. Use your powers of Growlerisation to make Windows Vista a decent operating system. 

Quite simple really. Bin it and go back to XP. Works just fine here for me thanks.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!

You 'lads'. You've got to have the latest toys ey?

Problem is, what happens when Micro$hite stop supporting XP?

We have a while yet I think.

There's one bad side effect to XP's life extension. It seems that XP has nearly run out of available license keys, and MS will run out of keys to issue sometime next year. To combat that, MS is creating a new build of XP specifically to fix this. The new build will not add or remove anything from the OS, merely change the type of keys it accepts:

The new build, dubbed SP2c, includes no fixes or feature changes, but was created simply to address the shrinking pool of product keys. XP Pro SP2c, which has been released to manufacturing, will be made available to OEMs and system builders next month, said Microsoft.

If they are creating new versions with new licence keys and extending the sales cutoff then I would expect support to run for a few years yet.
