And the rules for businesses that opt for the Simplified Tax System are in any case different to those for larger companies.

Part of that is that I know better how to run it and I've learn't some of its nooks and crannies but the other part is that on recent rigs it runs faster than ever and even feels lighter (not as light as Ubuntu tho'). It gets a visual and functional makeover occasionally. And it runs everything (how many programs won't run on XP compared to how many won't run on Vista?!)<br /> Hard to love, but then its a computer OS!</p> Funny how over time XP has got better not worse, not older or passe.
