[Rik]

Ah, the joys of Patch Tuesday.  Thanks, Noreen.

[Sebby]

Thanks, Noreen.

[Lance]

Thanks!

[Gary]

Cheers Noreen 

[Noreen]

Has anyone had any Updates, I haven't been informed that there are any for my computer?

[Rik]

XP, I've had four, and the offer of SP3, Noreen.

[Lance]

I had 7. Four for Office 2007 (including the Outlook junk mail filter update), Windows mail junk mail filter update, Windows Defender definition update and the monthly malicious software removal tool.

[Noreen]

Just checked , there's nothing important. I haven't got Office and Defender is turned off.

edit: Just been informed of two Updates and they have now been downloaded, the junk mail item and the malicious software removal tool.

[Sebby]

and the offer of SP3

You lucky thing.

[Lance]

I wonder how he resisted 

[Sebby]

[Rik]

It was easy.

Curiously, the notebook insisted on being re-booted although all three machines seemed to download the same stuff. It's XP Home, the desktops are Pro, so I wonder if that was why?

[Sebby]

Strange. Theoretically, Home is just a cut-down version of Pro, so it would make sense if it was the other way round, but not this way round.

[Rik]

I just wonder if Pro could implement something without re-booting... MS will always puzzle us.

[Sebby]

It's possible. I guess we'll never know.

[Rik]

Oh, we'll know that MS puzzle us.

[Sebby]

That's true, they'll always do that.
