			This week's poll: How does the release of XP affect you? It looks exciting to me. I can't wait to start my XPerience. I don't really need it. What I've got will do for now. Are you kidding? I'm still rolling out Win2k! I think I'll wait until MS works out the inevitable kinks. I don't care about XP, and I don't want to read so darn much about it! I am interested in XP. Please put as much info on the site as you can.
