The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Well...hackers are surely working on Vista hacks (I would be surprised
if none exist already...) thinking a newer OS is more secure is a bad
security strategy IMO..
Thanks,

Funny, when I saw Aaron's post, I did some googling and assumed he was

the look and feel of Vista without actually upgrading.

no way I would trust something like this. The recent cyber attack on
Latvia by Russian nationalists was accomplished by many ( millions? )
of infected PCs worldwide being activated in a concerted DOS attack.
Presumably the hackers were paid for their services. Add to that the
money to be made intercepting and spoofing banking transactions on
those many infected PCs and you can see why the hackers benefit from
users staying with XP.
not saying of course that this product is hacker code, but I would not
be surprised to learn that hackers feed code and binaries to these
sorts of community efforts.
