I realise that a feature freeze has been in place for a while, however
for people cursed with having to use XP, it's something that is a
real issue. Not everybody who works with this stuff, has the option
of blowing away XP and installing a real operating system. So it's
something that may need to be treated as a "bug" even though it's
somebody elses.
