So does this go around that windows advantage program?

Im legal but I dont want crap I dont need. But the website tells me I need to install it.

Sounds like it does. I'll check it out when I get home.

A-Nick4me · 08-18-2006, 04:52 PM

What is the advantage for someone who is legal to use this? How would it benefit me?

dai · 08-18-2006, 06:36 PM

i think the best use would be if you wished to slipstream them

Hey........ it works for Opera!

I thought it only worked on FF. But when I used to use FF with it long ago, it never downloaded correctly. Always took too long and froze.

It works on Opera?

Hallelujah! I'll never need to use IE again!
