Re: Shutting this down
There's no need for that. Anyone really interested in joining can reach several of us on other forums an ask for a referral, and we can then forward the request to 5eraph or someone else here. This should filter out any new spammers, IMO.

Re: Getting the posready hack working with win2k3
Therefore, one can add a single entry to the registry and cause XP SP3 to receive POSReady 2009 updates, but there's no porting that tweak to 2k3, no way. Sorry! OTOH, 2k3 x64 updates were used to update XP SP2 x64, way back, but now both are EoL, so it's no use.
