Well, it does change a lot of settings in your network control panel on 
Windows.

It removes the gateway (which you'd need right?)
It removes the IP address (although you may be using DHCP?)

I just brought my control panel config back to the way it used to be after 
installing that crap they gave me.  Too bad I needed a Windows system to do 
simple stuff I should have been able to do on anything.

I just wish I could remove that # after my new email address.  I'm waiting 
til mid-feb when they allow up to 7 e-mail addresses to actually change over.

And I'm not thrilled about my IP address changing dynamically either!
