If you have an ordinary XML file from somewhere random, it'll probably open in IE, but if you have one that was created by saving an Excel spreadsheet as XML, then it opens in Excel again. Or at least does on my machine...

Apparently attendees to the physical event will all get free copies of *either* Windows Vista Ultimate or Office 2007 Professional...

Oh, and people who follow the online webcasts at the same time get entered into a draw for the possibility to win one of 1000 copies of Vista or Office. Finally a free software offer we in the UK can take advantage of. Big Smile

Are we all happy now?

If you really want to control certain (task specific?) windows applications, you might want to consider replacing the default windows shell with another windows shell. The default windows shell simply isn't built for less then 640x480 (task bar and such).

If you want media center functionality without XP MCE clean install, try mediaportal.


Of course, hopefully Vista's settings for changing the display DPI should hopefully help with this.
