Apart from the winning lotto ticket, this is the 2nd best thing in the world!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

No the second best thing is a satisfying dump. winning the lottery is at least 6th.

No the second best thing is a satisfying dump.

I was only saying

and if you want to try to be a beta tester for things keep ur eye on neowin as they publish guest id's etc,however that said you have to complete a survey and then its pretty much down 2 luck if you get chosen as a beta tester.

as for plugging a few useful links regarding the subject of this topic I cant see what the problem is.

[B26354]

thats was a "joke"

Trying to install this the other day messed up my HDD so I had to re-install Windows and all, lol. This wasn't a problem with SP2 though before it puts you off.
