Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

[Anzial]

I have actually tried out Norton Internet Security (which includes anti-virus, firewall, and some other stuff). While I did like its user interface, it got in the way too much when I'm writing applications. Also, there was a point where it would cause the start up on my machine to take 10 minutes or so... so I then had to get rid of it.

I'll have to see what McAfee does when I am working with software development tools... anyone have any experience with it?

Should have tried Symantec Client Security - much less of a resource hog unlike the consumer-oriented Norton Internet Security

I'd prefer NOD32 or Kaspersky.
They both worked far better than Norton or McAfee imo.
Low Resource Usage, Fast Scans, Quick Detections, and they gave me no troubles from what I've seen.

I'll try out Kaspersky and NOD32 once my trial of McAfee finishes. Thanks!

Apologies on deviating from the thread's true purpose on figuring out the ship date for the m1330.

The best part about Kaspersky - you can get it for free with so many after rebate deals floating around

In Japan it is Year/Month/Day--largest to smallest. It doesn't matter how I configure the numbers though, I still have over a month until my M1330 ships.

But half the time in Japan the year is the year of the emperor's reign! What are we up to now? year 21?

In China the date may be written 2007.07.17 followed by the time. I think the ISO standardised on a similar system. And it has the advantage that dates sort correctly when sorted on computers alphabetically.

Or you can get Kaspersky legally free by doing the betatest program. There's no signup. Currently, they're finalizing version 7 but are up for 8 soon. You can find the links for it as well as coupons at my website at www.afdriver.com under the computer advice.
