Re: Its called bait and switch.

said by Stumbles:
Here's a question. Suppose for whatever reason you have to blow W2K or XP off your machine and install from scratch. Ok, you've done that, now you need to run all the updates, security patches, etc for W2K. Has anyone ever added up all those critters? Isn't it approaching at least a gigs worth?
I did this over the weekend on a "new" laptop, and I figure I used around 200 or 250 MB to get XP "current"... (One batch of patches alone was 84 MB, others were various sizes. Then there was updating Norton SystemWorks, drivers, etc...)
