| 171925 | 2003-08-31 06:22:00 | I hear of people who update windows and those who don't. I want to know what majority of people update windows regularly. | thehobbit (4483) | ||
| 171926 | 2003-08-31 06:33:00 | well i update constantly :) however a lot of people say to me "windows updates?? whats that?" also every single person i have come across who says " i never update, don't beleive in updateding, blah blah blah" has promptly gone of their rocker when they have been hijacked or infected with something and now update regulary. |

| 171927 | 2003-08-31 06:38:00 | My windows on OS/2 update just fine. Hell I can can even reload my desktop at will. As for MS Windows I'm sticking with win9x using non-MS applications for web browsing, e-mail etc. Worm, what worm................. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 171928 | 2003-08-31 06:41:00 | Nah I prefer to leave all the dirty great blatant security holes wide open for ease of access to my machine. Worms, intrusions, all those sort of things just make computing more exciting don't they? *sarcasm may or may not be present in this post |

| 171929 | 2003-08-31 06:50:00 | I keep all my operating systems updated, however I only download the critical and security updates. After that blaster worm, you can bet that people will be paying more attention to updates now. :D |

| 171930 | 2003-08-31 06:54:00 | Yes, I run windows update :) I check for updates every few month & /or when the automatic windows updates tell me or when every I heard of any update throw IDGNet Virus & Security Watch or thru the CERT Advisory mailing list or Microsoft Security Bulletin mailing list or throw Aardvark (www.aardvark.co.nz) & thru Gibson Research Corporation (http://grc.com) website or mailing list :) That is with a Win ME computer :) |

| 171932 | 2003-08-31 07:00:00 | > what about the IE SP's security updates etc...???? They are part of the critical & security updates. I keep IE/OE updated even though I rarely use it. I also keep my Red Hat updated ;\ |
