It has these blue, no black, no ...........um, kinda gold and silver frames with round and square things that react when I move the little arrow over them.
Windows(blinded)XP w/ SP2, nothing hacked so I can continue on my learning path towards an administrative level of understanding of the OS - about 2 or 3 years away (gotta know the registry, MMC console, and all the network goodies - Oh, yeah - and how to skin! I better add a couple more years to the mix).

I've been using (a clean) XP for four years now, havent noticed anything out of the ordinary, havent seen any "bugs".
But I've seen my fair share of people having lotsa problems with both SP1 and SP2, so just give me one reason why I should "risk" having those problems too now that I've been running XP problem-free for four years.
Quite frankly my dear, I dont give a damn about WinUpdate - I havent used it since I used Win95
Well, good for you!

| Not installing any service packs leaves you open to a whole lot of vulnerabilities and bugs. |

| Hell, you can't even use Windows Update without any service packs. |

| I was wary about installing SP2 for several months, but did just over 24 hours ago, and I'm glad I did. |

Zero - I'm just stating I DON'T have to turn on automatic updates to get windows updates via the MS update page. I have every available update with the exception of SP2.
Snowman - I agree.

I also have Win98 on my home built computer as a multi-boot. (So I can play some of those old games
Soon, I'll have SUSE 9.2 Pro on my server.
