Er no that's not in any agreement I've clicked on  ( I actually
read that stuff). Which is why I don't have the WGA 'Pre Release' on my
main PC . I have loaded the released version ( today) on a laptop that I
don't use, just to see what happens.  So far there seems to be an issue
between Core Force Firewall, WGA Notifications and TCPView.  I'll look at
that more later.

I have Open SUSE on one box so it wouldn't be a big deal. I've only found
one Word document that was totally illegible in OpenOffice, If they do
screw up my PCs I can switch.
