I dont know what sa.windows.com is but I know that m$ owns the domain windows.com
Then again I don't know what that is worth. How did you get there?

Thanks DaveH.

Checking my firewall preferences and it's good to see that all m$ applications are denied access to the Net. Except of their search engine it also includes all the Office-applications, mediaplayers, osa and other things.

I thought it was strange myself.
The first time I did a file search I remember my firewall asking for internet access and I denied it.
Sheez, all I wanted to do was search my hard drive, don't need no outgoing connections for that. LOL
(Hope that little doggie isn't too lonely)
