I'm currently typing this out on a Vista laptop that's been nowhere near DSL or a cable modem. From day one it's been hooked up to 3's mobile broadband and that alone. I have no idea how much has been downloaded as part of Windows (and associated programs) but we're talking hundreds of megs. Fortunately I'm trialling it and have unlimited data to play with and no scary bills to face.AnthonySun, 20 Jul 2008 07:52:50 -0000
