    Anyone use it? I downloaded it the other day, but I'm not sure if I like it--asks me if I want to make a guest account all the time. Should I give it a chance? $40 for the full version, right?

    The Dell Support window popped up from my taskbar (with its usual flare :) and the noise that makes you think you're about to get a revelation from God himself) and asked me if I wanted to try it out.

    What more do you need to know? Setting up a simple network is ridiculously easy - why would you want more Dell bloatware interfering with the process, especially when they want to charge you 40 bucks for the privilege?

    Yeah, good point. I didn't know if there was anything special that came with that $40.

    And about the other thing, I get a little annoyed when people who have absolutely nothing to contribute to the conversation insist on posting anyway.

    no personal attacks

    besides, outkast answered your question which was "does anyone use it?"

    what you should really ask yourself is what the point of this thread was as danimal's post should have clued you in
