The most positive I have heard is 'I might get it if a cool game comes out that requires it.' MS seems to be moving to work that angle hard, but they are going to need some better games. The buisness people I talk too (mostly from the techy end) are looking at it with a sense of dread. Reorganized interface means lots of upgrade support, hardware requirements that few buisness machines meet will be a problem . Most of then have not really looked into the question yet though, as nobody expects it to be a serious question till this time next year at the earliest. Jay

Like IE runs in a sandbox where it can't access system resources now. But that's pretty much it.

Post #257,318 by tuberculosis 5/31/06 5:38:41 PM Reply	The sandbox is also an integral part of the OS and IE runs inside of it. So it is all integrated into the OS.
