Stupid windows xp... STOP UPDATING SO MUCH!!!
2006-02-18, 2:47 PM #1
Anyone else notice that microsoft has been cranking out a lot security updates in the last few days? There is literally an update coming out every 5-15 minutes! I think I downloaded at least 10 yesterday and about 3 today. Good grief! Makes me wonder why they are coming out so fast.

Same here..one series of updates - can't recall how many were there, but there wasn't much.
woot!

They had a bunch on Tuesday, but I updated 'em all in one swarm. Except that one that was broken. I downloaded that one manually.

Damn it! I was watching some series one evening, and then one of the stupid updates wanted to reset the computer. And the idiotic requester always popped up on top, forcing MPC from fullscreen to a windowed mode. And this happened every 10 minutes, or something. I killed the bloody wuauctl (or whatever) with task manager hoping it would give me some peace, but the ****** thing just resurrected itself after a while like some bad joke.

If I had been a lesser man, I would have yielded and reseted the system. But I endured, until I was ready to go to sleep and shut the system down anyway.

Oh damn, isn't it so inconvenient Microsoft is patching their ****. I'd rather go without and end up spyware and virus ridden. Stupid Microsoft.

Automatic update is just asking to be abused by microsoft, I'm surprised it took them so long to flood people with an update every 15 minutes.

Same problem with me. I was compiling a .map and the damn update reset my computer and shut off the compiler. THat pissed me off so damn much.

I got to find a way to stop making these updates reset my computer.

Oh STFU. I'm just annoyed that they keep sending updates every freaking 15 minutes. Would be convenient if microsoft could just bundled all the updates and just make it one big download.

They do, they're called Service Packs. Do what Yoshi said and turn the automatic updates off and wait for service packs if you REALLY want to not get bothered. Or just visit windows update from time-to-time.

Ok, I notice something with these constant updates. For some reason its downloading the same damn update over and over. It's a security update that uses the same number. I guess I'm gonna have to just turn it off because it's obviously not doing its job properly.

BTW, sorry I lashed out like that to Yoshi. I know about the service packs dealio but I always figured that the automatic update system is reliable so I just leave it on. Apparently I placed too much faith in microsoft. They idiots can never make any software work the way they are supposed to.

I won't touch service pack 2 with a ten foot clown pole so I don't get updates at all anymore.
And guess what, I don't have spyware or viruses either.

:p

Why not? There's absolutely no reason to abstain from it now.

I leave mine on, but it goes off at something like 0400, so I don't really care (followed by virus scan at 0500) :p
