Not sure about the upgrade question, but those windows that pop up all the
time will start to disappear once the initial permissions are set.
Check out the search function, I didn't start using it till recently. It's
pretty **** cool. Instead of telling people click this and click that to get
to remote assistance for example, you just click the start button and type in
remote assistance. Works great with contacts in outlook and just about
anything. Awesome.
