Thanks Snook!!
I have DSL, but this is still VERY handy in case I would need to do a Clean install of XP later on. But two questions:
1. You said it has updates through March '04, but the order page says the updates are through October '03??
2. Does this include XP SP1a Service Pack, or just hot-fixes?
Thanks again man!

A lot of people have asked, "Why Patch our system?" or "Why AutoPatcher?". Well, I thought this would be a good opportunity to explain to you why we exist. Well, first of all, here's an Article for you to read:
Microsoft has a message for Windows users: Patch your computers quickly.
As you can see in that article, there are a lot of vulnerabilities out there, that many people don't know they have. Patching your system reduces the chance you'll be affected by a virus (like Blaster) or Hackers exploiting problematic code. Now Microsoft does ask everyone turn on Critical Updates, but for people on Dial-up, that could be a hassle. Also, some of their patches don't even show up on it! They've also released a Security CD, but that too doesn't contain everything, in fact, it only contains Critical Updates through October! That still leaves many people with holes in their Operating System. That's where we come in. The AutoPatcher is designed to quickly patch a system with the most current updates (and tweaks) available. It runs silently in the background, and needs no inputs once started. It just has to be downloaded once, then burnt to a CD, and you can patch as many systems as you want, with no extra bandwidth usage (for you companies that pay for it), and also for you users who have friends, family, and relatives on Dial-up.
All in all, I feel the AutoPatcher is a very useful product, and can help many people stay updated, and not have to worry about vulnerabilities. If you haven't already, give it a try. Download a copy or order a CD... see why so many people have already started AutoPatching.

For a slipstream no, but it works fine for me. However if you do an upgrade from a previous Windows version you can uninstall.

This thread's title says "up to March 23, 2004 updates" but the MS site still says February 2004 Release. Are people receiving 'March" or "February" versions?
Thanks.

i put this in the OS forum but nobody can really help me. I was wondering if someone can help me. Im pretty new to this
I recently about 3-4 months ago recieved the Security Update from Microsoft. Recently purchased the 200GB hitachi harddrive for a friend. Now when installing it on his PC i realize he doesnt have service pack 1 and he needs it in order to get the full 200GB other wise he is only allowed the 137GB limitation. We are in an area where we dont have broadbvand and dial up is the only option. I was wondering if someone can burn me a copy of the file as it is no longer available on Microsofts web Site. With my luck i have misplaced the Update CD as well as the virus protection CD. If someone can please help me out I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance to all.
