I need to know as I found directions on how to root from a Windows machine and don't want to miss my window.

Thank you.

There is no race to beat the ota. Just Don't install the ota and you will be able to root anytime after an update notification.

There has been a rumor going around that an OTA update will close the exploit that allows rooting on the Bionic. I think you should just go ahead and root. If such an update exists you would be able to block it and even edit the files to indicate you have already received the update so it doesn't keep bugging you.

The article I linked had the rumor. Downloaded the root stuff. Thinking about rooting, though this thing is pretty sweet as is. What pros would come of rooting before custom ROMs available?

^ Basically running apps that need root access to run.

Will having removed app such as Blockbuster and the Vcast apps matter when an OTA update comes?

How did you unroot. I rooted using
Petes one click motorola. Worked great. Then I removed adw launcher and tried to unroot and it says could not identify your device as a verizon Droid 3?
