If you allow windows update to freely do its thing, you WILL have
issues
eventually. It's not a matter of "if". It's "when".

Life is full of issues. The few I have had from MS have been solvable.
As
I stated, if I run into a serious problem, I know who to call. Thanks
for
your concern.


OK. You're the expert.

Joe, there are millions of people using XP and Vista with WGA.
Very few are experts.
They are somehow getting by.
Do you think MS is spying on people?
AFAICT the main reason to avoid WGA is that the OS is pirated.
I have heard that VISTA is already hacked, and can get MS updates.
Some might argue that beyond service packs, the updates are
unnecessary.
What's your point?

Vic, I would be happy to discuss this further with you. First, read the
article and tell me what you think about it. We really can't proceed until
you do that.

And by the way, I'm no expert either.
