^Was that a joke? I didn't laugh

Who? Joke? What? It seemed like a question to me, and I can understand that because it sounded a bit out of there like "I love surfing the web", not that I don't like GE myself.

"Vista support (limited user accounts require admin approval)"

That wasn't the case before.

..... for home/non-commercial use only!!! If you are a business you have to pay 400bucks plus, per year.

Please could you make that clear when posting, rather than use the product vendor's sales pitch.
