Hi, think Windows XP could be cut back further, Windows Med. Player is inferiour- there is a lot of competition and Real Play is better. Windows Messenger can be left out too. I'm getting feed up with being pestered by "popp ups" suggesting I update Windows Messenger and others. Windows Firewall can be forgotten to!

I have Windows XP prof. an expencive product esp. when you consider the nec. purchase of anti. spyware and Personal Firewall on top of the cost of Windows.

Regards Carol
