I suppose they didn't state the cataclysm to come if this critical,
high priority update is not installed??? Did they??? There are too
many Win98, Win98SE, WinME, Win2K - SP1,2,3,4 + roll ups, WinXP -
SP1,2 that haven't been critical updated with no problems occurring
in terms of security.

I wonder if this will be an ongoing saga with Pista as well?
Actually, no I don't.

What dire consequences are you expecting?

None, which is what I posted. I won't notice any difference in my day
to day PC usage whether it's installed or not. Why is it so critical?
Is what I asked.

If by installing this important update, a majority of the Windows XP
systems are declared to be invalid, should we be expecting Microsoft
to go belly up?

Is that rhetorical... They survived Win95 first release did they?
Crikey, I don't believe you posted such a question, but there it is
in writing.

You know, Microsoft had a disaster with the
security update MS06-015; anybody want to take bets that the
programmers might also goof up with this one?

Anyone installed this current critical high priority update? They can
vouch for that.

I didn't even install it on my test partition, even though I know it
passes WGA.

The funny part is that this "high priority" update is unistallable, so
even if you don't pass WGA, all you have to do is unistall the update to
get rid of the warnings.
