Yes and no, Katherine. You are right that those who want to do it, will always find a way to do it. Then again, there is a merit to having a wait period for obtaining a gun (it allows an enraged person without a gun to calm down before he gets the gun). Similarly, while in this context XP would have no effect on most hackers, it'll be a different story for the kids; they haven't grown out of that prank yet. Personally I am more worried about the reported "remote control" and "firewall" features of XP than anything else.

regards,
Sun Tzu
