Legal has nothing to do with it.  I just want a reliable system.

I've got it at work and I like it.  The interface has lots of useful little things - renaming doesn't highlight the extension.  Copying huge numbers of files gives you more options if there are problems.

I originally put it on a machine with 1GB of memory.  Hint - don't!  It's acceptable with 3GB.  But my new home machine will have 12, going on 24!

A study in Scotland showed that the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ depending where a woman is in her menstrual cycle. 
For instance, if she is ovulating they are attracted to men with rugged, masculine features.
If she is menstruating she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors shoved in his temple.
