I want to thank Bill Gates and his army of flying monkeys for pushing the "Windows Genuine Advantage" patch out to my Windows XP Laptop yesterday. Now it won't run at all, stopping with a blue screen in the log-on process.

So far nothing has fixed it and I am, of course, reluctant to use the "Recovery Wizard" and wipe and load my machine.

My next step is Linux on my laptop...
