I do.

Don't know if I should though!


They TELL me I should, and who am I to doubt the powers that be!?

Just wait till they build up and they release service packs. Its much easier that way.

You'd be wise to argue with this one. I touch computers and they die.

All the more reason to install the updates!

and make yourself vulnerable to potentially serious exploits for the entire time you wait?

There was a recent thread in the tech support forum about a guy who wanted to be nice and install all the windows updates for two computers. Then total disaster, the systems won't boot up/work properly. Of course that was Windows ME.

When SP1 for XP came out it did that to me. I had to uninstall it.

What ARE these... updates, people talk about?

 

[monk3y]

Automatically does it all.

 

[Paulson]

I don't like it doing it by itself, seems to simple for my I guess, hehe, but really its because I hate when it installs something when I'm working and I can't stop it...

I just have it set to automatically download it so when I'm ready to install it, I don't have to wait for it to download...

 

[Babbles]

Why wouldn't you?

 

[clicknext]

Well they're critical!! How can you not install them??

 

[trek]

not all of them...theres 1 i haven't it's for outlook express, which i don't use. ever.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Uh, no. I don't install things like "This critical update fixes the font size when watching the close-captioning in the Bambi DVD." and other nonsense crap like that. I don't install Windows Messaging updates, or anything else bullsh|ttish.

If I need it, I update it. Otherwise, why mess with something that isn't broken?

 

[Medea]

Yeah, for the OS and for IE6 - don't use Messenger so don't need the updates.
