| No automatic update for me
It seems that every time I bother letting the applet install an update (it is literally at the tune of a new update or two per week) something goes wrong with my PC and ultimately, it becomes intolerable to use.
I have since installed the OS and the service pack only, and my system has been running fine.
I say I'd rather wait until the next major service pack before I bother updating anything. |

| I've never installed one service pack or a single patch. I run ZAP, BID, Panda and SpyBot on my PC's behind my router/firewall. Never had a problem...coincidence? I think not.

New York | There are noticeable improvements, or rather certain nuisances go away, from installing the service pack, so I won't refute that. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. |

Re: No automatic update for me
The only thing that's noticeable is the update to correct the update you just installed. If my systems don't crash and all my apps work to my satisfaction...why bother with the headaches. Because it's not just with the OS, then it's drivers for peripherals, etc, etc....it never ends.

New York | You have to understand that Microsoft never works around any software developers, the developers work around Microsoft. Not all developers will put software together that'll bode well with the OS, that including drivers, etc. |

Re: No automatic update for me
Right, and most developers make their products to fit around MS' original offering, because they know that not everyone will have the latest updates and patches - though enough software out there will require the latest updates - catch-22

Wouldn't it be easier and just as safe to unplug your internet connection!
