Post by: Bandit127 on 10 March 2009, 19:41:15
The usual reminder for Windows users without automatic updates. .

3 for my XP Pro today, restart required.

I note 2 critical patches for servers TB. Hope you aren't too busy testing.

What does this mean, should I be doing something? I don't allow updates since having some problems with a service pack that stopped me getting ontothe internet. Advice / suggestions in easy english welcome :-[

You really, really, really, really, really REALLY should be running automatic updates.

Failing that, subscribe to MS's email list for patches and apply manually, but thats a pain

Thought you had it on a VM under 2k server or something similar...  Not all shitty, guess it depends how its put together and compiled...  Still no issues on the setup I have running.

Still a VM, just not under Windows.

The Linux kernel is old, decrepid, undeveloped, dated, and just plain shite. Thats always going to be the fundamental flaw with it.  It doesn't matter how many bodges you put into later kernels to try to mask its defeciencies...

Flash memory, such as usb memory sticks, are very poor backup devices due to poor reliability

I recently bought a USB hard disk for £53 off Amazon. 500 Gb of capacity.

While no professional I know backs up to a hard disk, it will cope with a system failure on my PC and has the capacity to store all my music, pictures and emails without any hassle at all. Daily back ups with some simple freeware software that I hardly notice is running. Ideal for me.  :y

Auto Updates are essential in vista! to fix all the MS bugs and flaws

Linux i think your right just been playing with Kubuntu on my new pc what a load of complete shyte KDE is still a flawed sack of shyte let down with non existant driver support for modern GPU's and poor internet / networking connectivity from a UMTS support POV

i eventualy got my modem to work but not with Wvdial! will be reinstalling vista tomorrow might give Mac OS ago
