so true =)

besides of browser hijackers, worms, viruses, trojans and spy/adware, 
also other legit programs that are just badly written for XP could 
cause memory leeks ...
you also should make sure that you fix the size of the XP swap file ... 
once you defined it to, well, lets say a gig, there should be 
'virtually' no more memory use after that limit =)
and maybe next time you generate a hard drive with VPC you might want 
to use a fixed size drive .... you know that NOW ;) ...i made the same 
thing than you before though too..... i was running 2kpro though ...

and, i don't think m$ wants to shut down those holes .... but those are 
just my 2cents
