From: "Frank Haber" 

UPnP is off on the router and on all machines here.  Lately, it's been
turned off in the as-shipped state, from Dell, at least.  I'm continually
impressed at the nice "little things" in the current XP Pro HD
image from Dell Small Business.  Nearly every (small, deep-in-the-menus)
choice is the one I would have made.  Yes, it's still SP2 and they ship
with the Teletubbies' Hillside, no-icons look.  But within those
constraints, there's evidence that someone at Dell actually uses computers,
heavily. All this at basement prices.  One notices.

Hibernation is still on, on Dell desktops, though.  I trust them so much
that I take that as an augury, and leave it on.
