Yep. Am already out of there. However, I was not required to put any personal info on it. I just needed an account to login. They didn't care if I put junk info on it. I usually spend the time I'm on there closing the ads on the right and marking them all "offensive".

Mod points! Mod points right here! Please bring them all here.

I have a facebook account, but that's because my company requires us to have one to test the integration app that we built. I'd be loathe to add apps to it.

I called dibs. This planet is now mine. If you want a piece of it. You have to pay me. I called dibs first. Remember it. And you better believe it.

Sir, I do believe you shall find that it is spelt "numbnuts".

I do not solicit the information on whether they are believers. I frankly don't care. When that information is provided of their own volition and through no prodding of my own, then they start to drop in my assessment. They then need to work on their esteem in my eyes really hard. I stand by this opinion. If you think that makes me an asshat, so be it. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I will not be told that respecting other people's personal agendas however crazy they may be is mandatory in civil society.

I'm sorry, but I do discriminate against believers in my head. Laws and protections for their kind force me to treat them as equals, but until I get to know them better, they're mentally deficient and have to work hard to prove themselves otherwise. The courtesy you speak of is ruled by law, not civility.

It is? Could have fooled me. The only time my 1GB machine slows down is when I'm running iTunes (downloading podcasts - and sharing my library with colleagues) along with my JBoss AS and have Eclipse deploying the application to the application server. I'd really like to see evidence of a memory hog scenario. Cons I've come across so far: 1. The OS doesn't tell you about Virtualization when writing to C:\Program Files\ and does it anyway 2. I keep needing to run installers (*.msi) from a command prompt opened as an administrator if windows doesn't run them as such automatically 3. Takes a good minute or two to shutdown (even when there are no updates to be made) 4. System restore points are huge and take up 4-5GB at times forcing me to run disk clean up after every update 5. Folder customizations don't persist (even within the same login session) 6. My games (which do require better graphics cards than the Intel Generic graphics card that I have - but ought to work with emulators) don't work That's all I could come up with off the top of my head right now. Apart from that, it's been no different than XP - Media Center Edition. I don't turn my laptop off unless I need to (for updates). Sleep mode is good, not great (slows down sometimes and takes a while to let me move the mouse or log me back in).
