I'll be damned. Bush2000 said something I can agree with. I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day and all that...

One of the reasons people have stopped installing MS updates in a timely manner is many of them cause problems worse than what you're trying to fix. That XP SP2 pack screwed a lot of machines. Also MS has a history of sneaking undocumented fixes and system setting changes into these patches. Not nice.

It's all about trust. Many people don't trust MS as much as they once did.

Meanwhile, Apple's cred keeps on growing. Apple is enjoying a "halo effect" where 1 in 7 consumers who purchased an iPod purchased a Mac as their next box. Owch. And have you seen those new iPod Nanos? Damn. Those things are so cool Microsoft might not be able to pay you soon, Bush2000.

Say 'hi' to Team13 for me. 'night.

I agree with you and B2K about the patching not being done in a timely manner, but it seems to me Apple has botched a lot of patches lately, so I even wait a bit on them.
