================================================ Subject: Re: Backing up the XP subcribers a bit. Links to source. From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sat 11 Aug 2001 09:49:20 -0400 ================================================ I noticed that the subscription was in reference to Stardock. Not towards XP for subscription. I saw an article based on XP linked off of the first article that I had bookmarked. Seeing the subscription on an article about XP was something on a scan article because of time restrictions. Let us hope that MS does not go that route with XP. If I happen to see a legitimate article. I'll know what not to do with XP. Other than the desktop removal of unused ICON's on the desktop. I don't see any news too bad about XP. Except again the financial aspect of the whole windows environment. The first article was pretty good though. But I'll let others make thier own interpretations. Without a critical review.
