Just a tad off topic - but I couldn't resist...
Redmond is actually a beautiful place...with the exception of some huge
buildings on one of the major streets ;)
My boyfriend lived there up until a few years ago...and I love going there
to visit his family...
So - if M$ ever failed to convince people to upgrade...Redmond would
become a more beautiful city, in my own opinion...heh :)
