Windows Updates

[Alien Bay]

Is it my imagination, or are these Window Updates coming out almost frickin daily?

Anyone else noticed an increase in these things?

Bought a Dell with 64 bit Vista couple weeks ago and every day I am greated with new windows updates.

I usually install all except the upgrade to IE 8..
still on the fence about that one..

When I got my HP, I had over 100 windows updates to do on a very slow DSL connection. It took for ever to get the updates done. I am glad that was over with. I have vista 64 bit and got the upgrade to 64 bit windows 7.

I like to buy HP with at least SP1 on. Then unless it's something bugging me that is fixed, with no reports of systems being hosed, I don't download any fixes.. and certainly not automatically.

With my AMD dual core machine I suffered a moment of weakness. Got Vista before SP1. I've been paying for it in aggravation ever since. Luckily I can run W7 evaluation to side-step the problem for awhile.

My laptop has an AMD dual core with 4 gigs of memory. It had vista sp1 64 bit. It has been rock solid have had no problems what so ever. I also have the free windows 7 upgrade ordered and I also bought a upgrade for $99 too. My wife got a laptop from the union but did not qualify for the free upgrade. It was bought earlier this year.

Hey Rago,

Everyone is talking up IE8 ... but I would stay with IE7 till all websites go to IE8 support ... especially the Not-So-Big-Sites.

G!

Since I have upgraded the Acer laptop with xp to IE8 has had no problems so far and the HP laptop with vista upgraded to IE8. The HP has not had any problems either.
