Except all those hidden things that you really need so that when you are connected to the net people can't take control of your PC. It is always best to use the latest service packs and hotfixes because there is a reason for doing them. Usually security reasons. |

Indeed true! Still; one can constantly be to update with any critical and security updates even without the need of a service pack. But Service packs have all these updates regardless. In the end, either way, if you want to, you can do each update individually or just down load the Service Pack instead.. |

| 131661 | 2003-03-29 22:34:00 | I have a Linux box acting as a gateway to the internet on 56K for our home network. At the time I was updating, my son was downloading and my share of the bandwidth was low, so things were a bit slow. In the bottom bar of IE among other things, it came across "corporate=false" amongst other info. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 131662 | 2003-03-30 01:47:00 | I think the corporate code checking is done from code in the service pack. I don't think it looks on the internet to check. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
