    > Has anyone had any dealings with DEP (Data Execution Prevention)?

    Yes - I've been testing our products under it. I'm a little worried
    by how few ISVs seem to have been doing that. For anyone who wants
    to experiment, there's a free tool for setting it off, NXTEST, at
    http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/.
