That's something else (and, incidentally, not what Paul was talking 
about). I'm with you on this one. Though, it's not so much that it's 
not "dial-up friendly"; it's that, like Win XP or Linux for that 
matter, it's really not friendly towards people who can't have or can't 
afford a constant internet connection. But then, no OS has ever been 
friendly towards people who don't have or can't afford electricity, so 
there.
