I had four MS Security Updates for Vista Ultimate to download this morning.

I also had 4 on Vista Home Premium, with a further 4 for Office 2007.

I don't mind if they make my computer safer, Rik.

It would be safer without Windows.

You could say that the update was only around 20mb, rather than the 499mb that was released on another OS this week

I have both W7 & OSX

It was only 157mb via software update and apart from updating the OS it also updates the associated programs i.e safari mail address book etc

But then you'd be a shut in, in a room in the dark

I'll get my coat
