Well, I may as well order the CD, as it is free. BUT, I do have all the
critical updates from the Windows Update Catalog. Also, I have a full
system backup-- just refreshed!

Time will tell whether they update the CD, when THAT becomes necessary.
However, if you or Bear or any MVP should come by insider information, I
promise not to sue.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

| Hi
|
| I doubt that very much.
|
| I would think that they update this CD with some interval, e.g. based
| on x number of new critical security updates are released since last
| revision of the CD. I would also think that a release of a new OS
| service pack for Windows XP or Windows 2000 will trigger a revision
| (the current CD comes with SP1 for WinXP and SP4 for Win2k).
