Computer question

    I feel full of questions today and want to ask one more: How do you feel about Windows XP and the issues regarding privacy - i.e. giving Microsoft so much personal information in order to simply use their OS? I'm considering another mobile device and I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I already decided that the Pocket PC was simply too expensive and too limited (i.e. too much money for too little performance). I also promised to never buy another machine with anything beyond Windows 2000 on it due to my concerns regarding what Microsoft does with my private information, but the reality is that there is a boat-load of software and the like that is only available on MS driven machines - and I would like access to some of it - plus... I want a tiny laptop and Apple has yet to come out with anything smaller than their iBook. What to do...
    In all honesty, if you have a suggestion, drop me a note and let me know what your thoughts are. If you give me permission, I will post your email here.
