if you have the right virus protection i wouldnt worry about torrent sites.
look at it this way pay hundreds of dollars to bill gates for a stupid program or get a minimal chance of a virus downloading it. i know which one one i prefer
as far as windows 7 i havent had a problem with getting programs to work.
but im ready to punch all computers in the face!

hi corey... download firefox web browser. that will take care of your web browser issues. then open a free gmail account. you can set it up to consolidate ALL of your email addresses into this address, and when you reply to someone no matter which email address it came in on, it will show that you replied from that address and not your gmail address. along with your gmail address you get google docs which will more then take the place of most micro$oft office functions as well. nxt time your hard drive crashes or computer gets stolen, no problem, everything is in the "cloud" so I'm totally at a loss with my email .. The "live" SUCKS A$$ & outlook express now costs $200.00 bucks .. and so far I'm NOT happy with windows 7 .. none of my old stuff works with out a TON of work for drivers .. not many of the internet sites yet support 64 bit access ....

Hey Corey i have the same hate on for the pricks at Microsoft. There should be laws to make them support the crap they manufacture past the point of when their new improved crap come out. It's like buying a car and as soon as the new model comes out, sorry there are no parts available for your old one, but we are happy to sell you a new one. I have discs around for 6 different OS that are useless as crap as soon as the next comes out. Rant Off.

do you use this michael ? yep, everyday. doesnt matter if i am at work, home or in the garage working on the trekker, all of my stuff is there no matter what computer i am on. it is very liberating not to be tied to one computer or another depending what document, email or picture i need.
