Hi Ireland,
Sorry the late response to your above posts; I've been playing more at the cdf board lately. But I wanted to post so I could back up your above opinions. I think you and I both agree that XP is becoming very backup-unfriendly and that Windows 2000 SP4 is more stable for making backups (actually SP3 is fine). And that a standalone (no web connection, sneaker-net updates), dedicated box resolves conflicts from other software. So far, Win2K sevice packs and updates don't include all that DRM (Digital Rights Management(?) did I get that right?) crap that is going into XP. I don't think that there will be any more service packs released for 2K. And I am VERY wary of what might be included in their "update-function" patches and I don't really need their security updates since I am not out on the web with this box.
MS is in the entertainment business now. In other words, MS is playing ball with the "powers-that-be". Twilight Of The God's soon buddy. Linux anyone?
BTW: to others, I'd like to reassure you that only Slysoft-Team software engineers release the beta versions that Ireland points you to. In my experience they are always dead-on-b*lls solutions to new CSS schemes. So no fear necessary but I understand the hesitancy to not update till a version is official. Usually you will wait 1 day or less for a beta solution or 2 days or less for the official release. Just don't let your kids touch the original or just put your original back on the shelf and wait a bit for a slysoft solution.
Best regards,
Whisperer
