Nope. The dropped exe will happily install as a service on any NT based
OS. doesn't matter if you had vista and downgraded it to XP pro. You're
still going to get ****ed in the ass about 10 minutes after it sees an
internet connection go hot. It waits a few minutes, to make sure the
coast is clear. And really, if you don't know lojack, and many don't, you
aren't going far with the stolen lappy. You can switch to linux and avoid
the dropped exe tho. For now. [g]
