I take all their patches, and run Linux or Mac OS or something else on as many of my boxes as I can.
My mental mindset for my Windows boxes is the they aren't mine. They are Microsoft's, to administer as they will, and I just rent them for an excessive fee, to run a couple of captive applications (and a boatload of anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-rootkit, anti-popup, anti-adware, anti-spyware, anti-whateverelse protection) that I can't duplicate yet in another operating environment.
Thanks ... I manually changed the time last night. Guess I'll find out what happens down the road.
