From: "Frank Haber" 

Anyone else seen problems with the somewhat inchoate Data Execution
Protection, a trainer-wheels software form of what's coming for us all in
the 64-bit world?  I haven't seen it myself yet, but a friend got bit bad
with a stalled install of some VBNET package or other.  He had to back off
to yesterday, turn off the DEP service for "all except named
apps," then reinstall.  He's not sure all NET components are kosher
yet - more later.

He pointed me to this Q:

I'm hearing generally positive things from small users, but there may be
problems with PCAnywhere 10.  Symantec says all is ducky, of course.  Very
preliminary indications seem to say things go smoother on a machine patched
to latest under SP1 than with somethng off the shelf that needs lots of
updates. And the CD local install seems lots better than depending on the
net for a patch this big.
