thanks for the lookout.

guess I gotta lay off the skin flicks for a while!

There's been a few of these over the years, but hardly a major concern. Basically they require you:

a) decide to download some 'porn'
b) once at the dubious Web site, click the link to download the 'special' codec you need to view said porn,
c) Mount the resulting disk image
d) Double click the installer
e) Give the installation program your administrator password in order to run it.

You've gotta be *real* desperate to see Britney naked to worry about this one (not that you can't go to any gossip site and find pictures of her nether regions!)

Ah well - gives the Windows users something to talk about! ;)

haha yeah everyone's sick and tired of hearing about Vista anyways! I'm actually running XP on my Mac right now - the irony!

Ben, or any mac users, are you upgrading to Leopard?

Absolutely - been running it for the past week. Its good. Very good.

Noticeably faster on 'old' G4 hardware (bought in 2004), blisteringly fast on the Intels (fully 64 bit across the board - yay!) No major incompatibilities with 99% of software, and a whole boatload of improvements at all levels, form the GUI to low level system stuff.
