MS is losing me. My computers from now on will have another OS.

There were 9 files, on both XP and Vista, pertaining to the Windows Update process which were modified. The files are listed below, and all of them reside in the Windows\System32 folder on your machine.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://cybernetnews.com/2007/09/13/microsoft-pushes-out-a-silent-windows-update/"><P>So why is this such a big deal? As it turns out this update was sent to <STRONG>all</STRONG> Windows computers, <STRONG>even those that have the automatic installation of Windows Updates disabled</STRONG>. There isn’t supposed to be anything harmful with the files, and it is expected that the update is needed if you want to receive further Windows Updates. But what about those people who didn’t want to receive any updates in the first place?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2F5A8BFC-E19A-49C5-9AB9-E364DAE6B706/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
