I've got that update sitting somewhere on my computer right now.
My comp automatically downloads the updates and then asks me if I'm ready to install it.
Well, I don't want to install it but can't figure out how to dump it and stop asking me.
I've searched for the file and can't find it.
My copy of XP came with my Dell, I just don't like the idea that MS could shut me down if the wished.

The MS spyware calls home every boot. What happens if you configure your external firewall to stop the connection from happening? My guess is that your system declines to boot. (An interesting situation for people who do not want their system having connectivity to the net for security purposes)

Now what happens when MS decides to desupport XP, and pulls the plug on the server that all the XP installations phone home to?
