-> You can tell XP to use the "Classic Look", but the taskbar organization is
-> still there, a great improvement..

This is good!

-> There are differences between Home and Pro, the Home wont have the remote
-> desktop and wont have IIS and all that.

Which is a reason not to upgrade to Home.. :)


-> Its a feature first introduced in ME, but it has uses for all types of 
users.
-> It beats the khrap out of having to do a reinstall because you dont know 
exactly
-> where a screwup is, all you have to know is when it occurred and 
restore/rollback
-> the system to a point in time that you know everything is pristine.

Where does it do the storage of the image to rollback to?  What is the
time involved in doing a restore?

-> Oh I dont think many people will like it....

Nope, I doubt it.  Too many people want to purchase 1 license of
software and install it on all their machines :)

-> Nope... If I drop to a command prompt and type " L: ", it says the drive 
isnt
-> there, but once I do that thing in My Computer, and return to the command 
prompt
-> and try again, success.. If I cant do it first from the command prompt, then
-> no automation from a batch file will work.

Hmm, interesting.  I thought that would work.  Aren't you running WINS?
Why don't you setup wcNetRunner to execute a command on that 2k machine?
That command could be the net command to re-connect the shares it has to
the XP box?  You could put this in a batch file in the startup folder
when the XP machine restarts.

-> It has several predefined services defines, such as FTP, SMTP, HTTP and so
-> on, but once enabled it blocks everything, unless you tell it what to 
exempt,
-> such as FTP and so on, you can add your own exemptions by specifying the 
port.

Not too bad.  I've got a nice router/firewall I bought from netgear.  I
wanted to upgrade the firmware on it but not sure if it'll cause
problems :)
