I just got my new computer, and I don't like XP either. Don't see it as an improvement over Win98. My grandson likes it, but I'm still trying to figure it out. Must be an age thing.
Hey DAC, don't be such a stranger. Isn't there supposed to be some sort of filter that can be used to screen out those programs which track your usage. Let me check with a few of those young computing nerds, when I get back to work on Tuesday, and I'll see what they say about your problem with Xupiter.
