I hear XP has an integrated Firewall. Can it be disabled and another third party Firewall used instead? For some reason I don't trust a Firewall built in the system, something in me tells me MS left a backdoor to snoop on you...

Windowblinds in my opinion is a must. Then to customize the actual desktop it all depends what you want to do: - have animations and really cool icons, shortcuts, and other nice objects on your desktop, the Desktop X is the way to go. - To have right-click on desktop customizable start menu, NextStart is the way to go. - To have a customizable Start/Task bar, Objectbar is the best - To have a really flexible program launcher/starbar replacement then go for Hoverdesk

So Targus, tell us what you like about it. I really hate the way Microsoft, with every new version of Office or Windoze, always seems to try to have things done automatically or through a wizard. It erks me. I hate wizards, and I like to have control. Or that &*%&*$? HTML page in the Program Files or Windows folder that hides the content until you tell it to show it. In Win 2000 it's the same for "My Network Places"... Grrrr! Let me do what I want! Argh!

What I meant to say in my last paragraph is that a company can gain revenus from a website it sponsors or owns. Like Stardock gets indirect revenus from Wincustomize. As for adds, I refered to targeted markets. For example, we recently booked a banner for a client on a specialized magazine's website. It's costing 150$/month just for the little banner in a specific section of the website. Overall, on that site, there are at least 20 or 30 other banners (which are more like tiny buttons than

gorman, as I said in my post: ad revenus are coming back, they are starting to raise a little again, and they will continue to raise. No it will never reach the ridiculous amount it was before the fall of the dot coms. But banner ads will come back. Actually, banner ads already can bring some money in certain targeted margets. In this case I beleive Adobe, Windows XP, and other Graphics/skinning related companies would be willing to pay more in order to be featured on the site. Anyway, I am
