I'm not sure if I completely understand this entirely which has been reported quite often on WXP; things like: Windows XP also will allow Microsoft technicians to remotely look at a user's system in the event of a crash to determine the problem and see if a fix is available. If not, a fix will be made and posted for others to update their systems automatically, so that in theory, the only people to see a blue screen are the first users who experienced a particular problem, said Valentine. I think I understand some of this but, how much will be possible with this? For example, if a Win XP user has a problem with something in the box (whatever it may be in most part aside from h/w) - can it be fixed (not only identified) directly by a technician (or whomever permissibly allowed to by the owner) remotely, potentially automatically, without the owner having to apply any 'hands-on'? Any clarification, correction etc. appreciated. TIA Thunder
