Ho hum. The last whizzo 1/10/08 Vista update did for my only Vista PC -
a Toshiba portable. It totally destroyed itself beyond repair.


For the most part, I try to turn off anything and everything that auto-
updates. (Even those that ask my permission first.) Whether that be
the operating system, or any programs that periodically surf the net
for updates.

I may miss out on the latest and greatest, but I find my downtime to
be SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. FWIW.
