>MS forced an update patch on all Windows users

At least one person (me) running XP had nothing forced on him. You need to double-check that statement.

It’s just the normal second Tuesday patch cycle. It will automatically patch and reboot if that is how the computer is set. It can also be set to “notify only,” or “download and notify.”

et moi also — four XP machines here — no automatic updates ever all the time, zero zip nada. Sometime when I get around to it, I will check out the updates and pick and choose (after the auto-update guinea pigs have done their job)
