Question to DELL-Jesse ... about critical update
Will Dell have this fix in place with the preloaded software from the factory, say, as of last week? I'm expecting my new box today, so should I worry about having to update XP already?
Thanks, Jim.
Thanks, Jim.

jimtnc, I think I saw a note somewhere that Dell had changed their shipping XP image recently to enable the XP firewall by default.
And we're certainly not giving Dell-Jesse a chance to get a word in edgewise, are we?

I have a pretty good firewall built-in to my Linksys router, and zone-alarm usually never gets a chance to shine. From what I'm hearing, XP has the capability to set up logically partitioned drives (ie,D,E,F, whatever) AND has a built-in firewall also. Didn't know that. Sounds like I might not have to buy Partition Magic.
My reasoning for partitioning is to setup XP on it's own drive alone. It's worked out well before.
Does XP have a better mechanism to backup data or is that still something I'll have to provide for? I've used DriveImage faithfully for a long timeand it's served me well.
Thanks, guys.
Jim.
