I am at Microsoft’s IT Forum Europe 2004. Bill Gates just told a story about being woken up by his kids recently to come and find out how they had won a lot of money – it said so on their computer – apparently, he said, it was “one of those pop up ads…”

What ever happened to SP2?

And here was me thinking Microsoft had fixed the pop up issue! Me? i will stick with Firefox. Maybe Bill should [download a copy](http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) for his kids–that way he can stay in bed for a little longer of a morning.
