Well it would appear that Microsoft is going to live up to its end of the bargin. I had a moment of doubt, especially after my Windows XP install crashed after doing a restore.  It should be noted I had install SP3 on the machine during this little feed back period, it was quite the adventure as I had trouble getting the XP Pro with SP3 to recoginize a thumb drive, USB Camera and USB Headphones. In the end I reinstalled and Microsoft got what it wanted and I thank them.
