No, I stay away from writing software. I go to school for IT, but I’ll probably be doing networking engineering/security when it’s all said and done. Writing software frustrates me. And yes, as far as I know there isn’t much end user software that needs to see the process identifier. ---

i dont feel the need to upgrade to vista yet… still waiting to see how sp3 is. I’ve been fine with sp2 since its been out. was a little quirky a few years back with hardware but its been fine. Still Expedients choice for all of its internal desktop/laptops. If I wasnt such a puss I would convert my big laptop to Debian like my beater p3 but ive got too much wound up in and i am too lazy to get my games working in Wine. ---

Ditto, thought I can’t complain at all about Vista so far. There’s just a bad cloud around it. It’s definitely an improvement over XP, it’s just different. ---
