Microsoft has a task scheduler that people should learn to use to remind them to check update to make sure their patches are current, it is located in the control panel and labled Scheduled Tasks and has an Add Scheduled Tasks icon to add update, FYI -Henry Jack Bates <jbates@brightok.net> wrote: Sean Donelan wrote:
As some of you know, the standard Microsoft OS distribution sold in stores on CD is a year or so old, and doesn't include any recent patches. You needed to download recent patches from Microsoft's web site. Unfortunately, with the latest round of worms, Windows doesn't survive on the net long enough to downdload patches.
Which is why Microsoft should issue a software equivelant of a recall. Systems shouldn't be sold vulnerable without at least a patch CD. -Jack
