I don't have auto-updates turned on so I assumed most of you don't either. I check every couple days. cash_site October 16th, 2003, 02:55 AM the 826232 fix is for win2k only... just incase u looked in Update and only saw 4. :D rik October 16th, 2003, 14:43 PM It's getting frickin ridiculous... I appreciate that they are putting out the updates but I am always hoping that they will be more proactive than reactive... cityman October 16th, 2003, 15:05 PM ms update site is awfully busy-- real slow service egghead October 16th, 2003, 16:03 PM we need a new service pack darnit! i think microsoft has its work cutout to keep users interests to upgrade to xp and 2003 server most businessess rely on computer data to be safe. you can bet there will be a huge migration of big business moving away from ms the worm port intruder, mass email virus user spoofer, popup ads can install spyware, DoS attacks forcing MS to change the windows update URL and the theft of the half life 2 source code from hackers using vulnerabilities in outlook to install keyloggers and programs that can report all activities to a remote location giving hackers the holy grail. we have been lucky that the worm didnt delete our hard drive and flash our motherboard bios effectively destroying the motherboard and computer. you can bet that when this happens, the internet and general business will be in a stae of emergency egghead rik October 16th, 2003, 16:39 PM you can bet that when this happens, the internet and general business will be in a state of emergency Agreed cash_site October 17th, 2003, 04:28 AM Good points egg, M$ should think - if its going to play with fire at least wear gloves so u dont get burnt ;) rik October 17th, 2003, 16:37 PM Well, I ran the updates last night and everything still seems to be working ok...anybody experience any issues? cash_site October 18th, 2003, 05:44 AM Originally posted by rik Well, I ran the updates last night and everything still seems to be working ok...anybody experience any issues? None seen here... yet :p cityman October 18th, 2003, 12:51 PM the updates ran smooth and no glitches. surprise, surprise... will wonders never ceased. there is a e-writer- Brian Livingston who writes about Windows from a hardware perspective. quite informative. he did not say anything bad about the upgrades (or at least that is what i understood.)
