@crazybi0 - more like a giant nuclear bomb in a pan. Not too many games can claim the number of sales Minecraft has had to date WHILE IN BETA. And then there's the folks that will pick it up once it goes 'gold' ..

That said, it's not for everyone.

You seem to be really good at trolling, too. How about sticking to the topic?

I just took a quick look around my area, and didn't see any Nissan Electric Charging Stations anywhere.

Alternative fuels mean little until there is infrastructure to support them. Electric, CNG, doesn't matter.

I'd like to snag a copy of SnagIt.

No, it's not a Wrangler. Nor a Cherokee XJ. Nor was it meant to be. Regardless...

Ah, yes. Downgrade rights. One of the biggest farces out there.

Yes, you can "downgrade" to XP Pro from Vista. So you source yourself an XP Pro CD to install from. Then you are asked for your product key. And then you are stopped. Because unless you have a valid product key for the version of XP you are using, you can't install it. And no, the install key for Vista won't work.

Downgrade rights are not the same as "Microsoft will provide me with a working XP install CD and key to use instead of Vista."

The same issues apply to Windows Server 2008 downgrading to 2003.

So while you may not need to "stock up" on XP media and licenses, you might want to get at least one.
