Fixed a couple security holes, and I just like it better for the hell of it. :mrgreen:

Then you should pay for it. ;)

Not true, XP Home and Pro are pretty much identicle. The only real difference is that Pro has IIS support(IIS sucks anyways, apache is free and better), Pro has a more extensive permissions setup which helps when you control a huge number of users. And Pro lets you use Remote Desktop connection to connect to your pc from a different one, but again, there are plenty of free programs that will let you do that.

a) Can you please improve your spelling/grammar, so I can read your posts slightly better? :)

b) I don't even get what you mean anyways. :|

Well first you like the car better, and then the subways. And the car is made of steel.

Ok ok, I'll do my best.. What I mean is, you say you want to use unlicensed software (the metaforic car in my example) just because you like it better. If you can't pay for it, stick with the next best thing (take the subway).

As much as I agree with your motive, the analogy is terrible. Stealing a car is nothing like using an unlicenced piece of software.

"I just take what I like and I don't care about legal alternatives". Ofcourse my metafore is highly exaggerated, but you get my point.
