ya’ know?…
I’m really starting to question the logic behind Windows Update.
I’m running XP Pro…& I really don’t want to use the automatic function…so I do an ‘express install’…and…
…(aside from the fact that they now have to install new install software, every doggone time, before you can even download & install the updates)…
in my list are SP2 updates for MS Office. I’m thinkin’…wait a minute…I have SP3…why do they want to update SP2, for MS Office…???…&…why would anyone want to bust into my PC & mess w/ my stupid Word documents anyway…???
but I figure they know what they’re doing…so I let ‘er rip.
I come out of the shower…& the whole thing has come to a grinding stop because it wants to download & install Internet Explorer 8. So…I’m not sure if I want v8…not knowing if it’s geared toward XP or Vista…choose NO…
…& after the downloads resume & install…
…it tells me in did NOT install (in addition to IE8) the MS Office suite SP2 patch [~!@#$%^&*()!!*!].
it’s almost not worth the effort anymore…let these hackers bust into my system & take what they want…’cause this whole protection thing is getting too complicated.
frustrated,
