I'll be Q-ing for that from early morning I'm sure! (sarcasm for those who didnt get it)
May I ask anyone who is intending on getting the 32bit Vista release as soon as its out, why?? whats the appeal?? it is just that you want the first of the new stuff, or is it more than that??

What I would like to know is what difference would this make:
Compare Vista with the Patchguard altered so they can access it,
to Vista as they intended it to be, while using a free program that doesn't require access to the kernel.
