    Whatta mess. If you can go through my new InfoWorld slide show, and leave Windows Automatic Update turned ON, you’re a much more trusting soul than I.

      @Woody:

      Personally on this machine while I do typically wait to install patches I do not pay much attention to MS-DEFCON.

      Whatta mess indeed! I now have 25 Win 7 updates in limbo and I’m waiting. Somebody needs to tell Microsoft that summer vacation is over!

      Being 20 something in the 70's was far more fun than being 70 something in the insane 20's
