  I don't think that's correct. I had my ex-girlfriend install it on her XP=
ee=20
box, while I use Linux with kgpg and/or GPA, and we were able to=20
encrypt/decrypt/whatever back and forth all we wanted to. I also never=20
noticed any problems with it while I was still using windoze, no 'bugs' eve=
r=20
seemed to bother me any.
  As for the sub-key thing, I have no clue. I just used a single generated=
=20
pair, and that was it, same as now with gpg. YMMV of course, but for the=20
everyday plain 'Joe', 6.5.8 is just fine IMO, and it *does* work with=20
opengpg/gpg.
  I don't know about the VPN part either, since I never used it, I just=20
mentioned that it had it in it, that's all. One can always use a different=
=20
VPN anyway and still use pgp as their main encryption/keyring/gui.

These guys looked dangerous...and hungry,
so to placate them until I found a shrubber,
I fed them an MSN butterfly. They dined
quite happily it seemed.
