Microsoft wants control your PC's hardware in the name of security

[John Ross]

Hi Duaine,
Yes you are beating it to death.
Why, would I, who has enough trouble keeping XP running, want to go to a
system, that appears to not be as user friendly.
I want to point, click and have it happen.
Please reply privately, rather than clutter up the list, which is what I
should have done, but I wanted to get it out in the open.
Regards,
