		<description><![CDATA[The Windows XP boot menu is determined by the contents of C:\boot.ini, a scary little text file that nevertheless is pretty important to know about if you fix computers. Microsoft changed how the boot menu works in Windows Vista and 7, helpfully removing the Edit button as you can see in the screenshots above. You&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is increasingly becoming a common situation: You&#8217;ve got a brand new laptop, it&#8217;s got Vista, it runs like a dog, and you want XP on it instead. You&#8217;ve got a spare copy of XP &#8211; for one reason or another &#8211; and you&#8217;d like to install it. Here&#8217;s the catch: Tons of new hardware [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Link Layer Topology Discovery first appeared when Windows Vista came out in 2006, but wasn&#8217;t very exciting back then, as most people playing with Vista had existing home networks full of XP, which doesn&#8217;t support LLTD by default. Now, though, with Vista machines more common and regular people up to testing Windows 7, it&#8217;s becoming [...]]]></description>

Intrigued, I answered yes to that interesting question at the top and set about plugging in every USB device I could see within arm&#8217;s reach: Left to right: A Netcomm NP544, my [...]]]></description>

(Actually they did it on Friday, but a thousand million keen participants brought their servers to a halt, before a mad rush to setup new servers to handle the insane load.) Officially the beta product keys will expire on August 1, which is [...]]]></description>

And none of them work, because your new computer runs Vista and doesn&#8217;t even have a floppy drive, and anyway the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[USB flash drives Nobody uses floppy disks for anything regular and important anymore. They&#8217;re slow, they&#8217;re physically huge yet hold so little, and they wear out and die too easily. CDs and DVDs have their place, but today people mostly use USB-attached flash drives to cart their files around. This is my newest flash drive. [...]]]></description>

Bring him a playmate and they&#8217;ll throw the sand around, put it in their pockets and drive trucks through it. You get the same scary effect from putting two scripted AI characters in the same room, and making them interact. I [...]]]></description>

He slips into the ruins of a townhouse, emerging a few moments later with a disappointed look on his face. The next two homes are more successful, his pockets laden [...]]]></description>
