Oh. I didn’t expect that. Maybe Windows 2000 is beginning to get just a little long in the tooth…

    Thanks for the links, Ian. The trouble is, I’ve avoided XP for so long now that there seems to be little point in upgrading in the year that Vista is supposed to be released. On the other hand, it’s going to make my life difficult if I can’t easily test sites in IE7.
